just to temper that: i introduced myself to mike oldfield many years ago by picking up a warped record at a garage sale for $0.50. it was hergest ridge. this is a recording with dozens of multitracked string parts. now, i didn't realize it was warped until i picked it up on cd a few years later, after i sold all my vinyl to backpack across the country. to this day, i *want* to hear what i now know is the warped version because it really thickened the sound.

siamese dream is one of the few non ambient or new age records where the harmonic distortion on the vinyl is likely to create a better sounding product, due to the thickly layered guitars. i can't count how many times i've listened to rocket; i only picked up a mild wobble, although there's youtube compression in between. what i'm getting at is that you may even find that the warp contributes to the blurrier sound....
