I.,—.- More defective albums being sold Phil Gramm to hold ‘Town Meeting” Congressman Phil Gramm, D- Texas of the sixth district, will hold a “Town Meeting” today at 12:15 p.m. in 701 Rudder Tower. The program will be an informal question and answer session with Gramm answering questions from the audience. The meeting is sponsored by the Memorial Student Center Political Forum Committee.

He received “Outstanding Young Man of the Year” in 1976 and was named one of the five out standing Young Texans in 1977 by the Texas Jaycees. By NANCY FLOECK Battalion Reporter You finally buy that new album. You take it home and put it on the turntable, but instead of hearing the music of your favorite group, you listen to spurts of unintelligi ble noise as the middle of the re cord bounces. Your new record is warped. Local record store employees say this is a growing problem. “About 30 percent come warped,” Bobby Mirza, manager of Soundwaves, said Friday. “That’s one reason we’re getting out of it (the album business).” Mirza said high crude oil prices are causing manufacturers to use cheaper plastic and produce thin ner albums. Mai Hayes, manager of Sound- station Records, said about 10 per cent of the albums his store re ceives are warped or scratched. “I think they’re using cheaper materials than they used to,” he said. “They (the manufacturers) have to be competitive.” Pete Nelson, manager of Hast ings Books and Records, said albums are now made of repro duced plastic vinyl, instead of pure plastic vinyl. “Quality has declined — that’s industry-wide,” he said. “They’re lowering quality and raising prices.” Nelson said his store doesn’t have a large problem with defec tive albums: “It’s really a problem one-to-one with the customer. It’s nothing I’m too concerned about.” Bruce Burner, assistant mana ger of Music Express, said mass Outstanding area woman to be chosen Nominations are now being accepted for the 1981 Outstanding Woman of Brazos County award. The sixth annual award will rec ognize a woman who has made a significant contribution to the community and has excelled in her occupation.

An entire shipment of albums could be defective if its production is inferior, he said. Jill Robillard, a salesperson at Hastings, said more warped albums are received in the sum mer than other times of the year because of hot weather. Jeff Mayer, manager of Music- land, said albums are like other products; some always come in damaged. He said some of this is due to shipping and some to cheap materials. Imported albums are of better quality than domestically pro duced ones, he said. “Japanese pressings are much better, but more expensive,” he said. The stores have had other prob lems. “We’ve received LP’s (covers) that are empty,” Hayes said. “We’ve received LP’s when the record is nowhere near what the cover says it is.” Mirza said he once received an album with paper imbedded in it. Tapes also cause their share of problems. Hayes said tapes often double track and that blank tapes usually reproduce sound better than pre corded manufactured ones. Burrier said this is especially true of tapes equivalent to double albums. The tape is made thinner in these cases, he said. Jana Hardesty, manager of Sundown Record and Tapes, said damaged tapes are usually the re sult of misuse by customers. “People leave them in the sun, or spill coke and beer on them,” she said. About 5 percent of the tapes she receives are damaged, she said. These record shops have return policies on damaged merchan dise, the managers said, although they sometimes have to absorb the loss. Hayes said his record distribu tor allows a 10 percent return. Faye Hartman and Ruby Turner of ctfn llie(^R ound fdJosli Cfy.
