I was just funkin' out to the first disc of James Brown's The Singles Volume Nine when it started skipping during the last few seconds of the last track. The disc looks perfect, so it's not a cosmetic problem. Can someone else who owns this set please check to see whether your copy does the same thing? I don't want to go through the hassle of returning/rebuying if they're all defective. Thanks in advance.

No one? Am I the only one who's been buying these? It's an excellent series.

Don't own it, but checked the Hoffman archives and didn't see anything about a skipping problem.

Ven, if you have Spotify you might try checking the song there. I know they've had some of the previous volumes. (If you don't have Spotify I'd be happy to check it out tomorrow when I'm on my "real" computer. Just let me know the name of the track.)

And, p.s., yes this does appear to be a great series.

Calijawn: Yeah, I haven't found any complaints about it anywhere on the web, either. I suppose someone would have posted something about it somewhere -- Amazon, Hoffman, or here -- if it was a common problem.

Glenn: Thanks -- I don't have Spotify, but it might be worth checking. The song is the full-length version (3:26) of "Rock Me Again & Again & Again & Again & Again & Again (6 Times)."

Spotify does have Volume Nine and "Rock Me Again & Again..." did not skip.

(...p.s., before today I had only heard the Human League's version of this song!)

Looks like I'll be returning it to Amazon. Thanks!

I have a FLAC of the album...and whoever ripped it, theirs did not have a skip in it as well. So you have a defective copy. But make sure you try it in several players. I've had issues with many discs where one player skips and five others don't.
