Chris Stapleton - Higher (Target Exclusive, Vinyl) (2LP)

Doesn't skip with a good record player.

Bought it against all of the bad reviews because I love the album and the target exclusive color but it SKIPS

We know this an excellent album, so this review is for the vinyl fans after seeing so many bad reviews about skipping. Why do you spend money on vinyl when you only want to spend $100 for a record player? This is an excellent 180g vinyl with no more than 4 tracks on each side for the excellent vinyl sound qualities. This is not meant for cheap record players. Why go through the pains of your own fault to buy expensive vinyls when you can have better sound quality with CD or streaming compared to cheap record players. For the enjoyment of vinyls, one should first invest reasonably money on a system for the price of about 20 vinyls (or more) and learn the etiquette of playing vinyls before building your vinyl collections. I did that and bought my system new, my amplifier is 40+ years old and my speakers are 20+ years old. They work perfectly together after getting back to vinyl more than 10 years ago. For God’s sake, those cheap record players are only good for $2 used vinyls from Goodwill. Folks please, your high return rate of perfectly good quality vinyl will only drive up the price of vinyls.

So excited to get this album and immediately bummed when I couldn’t listen to a single song due to the constant skipping. Not one song played through. Beyond disappointed.

Record skipped so badly, couldn’t listen to any song all the way through. Returned and could only exchange or get a store credit. Opted for the store credit after reading the reviews.

Every song skips, horribly! What’s even worse is that Target won’t let me return it.

Both sides of both albums skip on the 2nd and 3rd track. Exchanged for a new album, and it’s exactly the same. Very disappointing.

Don’t buy! I was ECSTATIC to buy this, but it skips on both LPs :-( every edition, not just the target edition. So upsetting!

Listen to the reviews! I’ve bought two now and they both skip on every song. Don’t buy!!!

I opened it excited to listen past the return period and was disappointed to find that as a brand new record it skips a lot. The quality gets in the way of listening throughout

Skips on multiple different tracks. I returned it once and got a different one. The second one also skipped.

I was really excited about finally buying the vinyl record! Unfortunately, the tracks skips, specifically track two and it happens on both side. However, the solution: place two to three quarters on the needle and watch and listen to how that skip goes away. It works!

It came scratched but I was able to return it and get a good one. Just be aware that it may come damaged. Some aren’t like that.

Do yourself a favor and read the reviews on this vinyl. Each side of this vinyl skips on the 2nd track.

First record skipped, They exchanged it no problem. 2nd one also skipped. Tried returning it for store credit because they had no more at the store. That's when things went south. They would not take it back and issue me a refund or store credit. Was told to contact the record company to try to get my money back..... Seriously??? Anyone else have problems returning this record which clearly has an issue skipping.

We purchased on target.com for the album and it skipped. I returned to store and got a second album. It skipped. I returned it again, and got 3rd album it skips too. I requested a refund back to my credit card and target will only honor a gift card. I want this album but don’t trust the product quality that target recieved.

I’ve bought 2 from different retailers. 1st one from a department store and it was scratched on all sides. Bought this target exclusive thinking it would be the best anywhere and it’s scratched on all sides too!

The reviews are accurate, this Vinyl skips terribly!!! I took a chance because I love Christ Stapleton but this vinyl is terrible quality. Side A song 1 and the skipping already started. And it’s so bad it isn’t even listenable.

If I could leave less than a star I would. The music is phenomenal but the record through Target is terrible! I returned it twice and have tried 3 separate vinyls all from Target and all skipped, every side of both vinyls. Don’t buy from Target and go elsewhere.

Almost every song skips. Returned my first copy and the second one skips at the same exact spot. Looking it up online it seems that there is a real issue with this album no matter where it is purchased from.
