What is point of crappy repress?

[no wanga gut]

I have heard many repress records with terrible sound quality, yet still produced at large quanity, seems a bit of a waste to me... can anyone share some insight on this topic?

its simple idren, to make money.

it doesnt bother me too much, its better to be able to listen to it than not at all.

yeah man, i cant afford to buy strictly originals...as much as i would like to...but all my represses sound fine and if they dont, i let ernieB know (becuase more than likely i bought them from him) and he replaces them at no extra charge. True Rasta!

Bingo...though not a great long-term plan as few will ever purchase any else you put out.

I've been fed up for years of cheap and lovelessly packaged products. It seems quality control isn't even a consideration, with records that clearly aren't pressed or mixed properly put out regardless. It's a case of put up or shut up.

It's as if they know you have a choice between a $100 original and a 14.99 repress.
