Tygokasa

sides A-B are unplayable from the lp I bought as well

Gozragore

Same problem with first disc - very noisy record. Mastering is terrible.

Kekinos

The first disc, A-B, is extremely noisy and impossible to play. Sounds like an old FAIR/ POOR LP from a flee market, unbearably cracked. I hung it on the wall. Thank god the disc with the Coil track is silent, C-D.
