Your stylus is probably dirty.

Clean it first. A skipping record — especially a newer one like Crushing — is almost never the record’s fault. It’s usually dust or static on the stylus tip or the groove.

Get a stylus brush and gently sweep from back to front (not side to side). Then give the vinyl a proper cleaning with a microfiber cloth and anti-static solution (or just warm water and a drop of dish soap if you’re careful). Skip the “record cleaning machines” and expensive sprays for now — a clean stylus fixes 9 out of 10 skips.

If it still skips in the exact same spot, check your tracking force. Cheap turntables (like suitcase players) often have too little weight on the stylus. Add a penny on the headshell if you must. Yes, it’s ghetto, but it works. If that doesn’t help, the record might be warped or have a pressing defect — return it. Crushing isn’t rare enough to suffer through a bad copy.

Don’t blame Julia Jacklin until you’ve cleaned the needle.
