The LP sounds great and it doesn't get any static either. However, there are multiple problems with this package.

The disc itself needed a better enclosure. A plastic sleeve with no sturdiness is not good for the LP. The first time I played the disc, there was one skip on each side. Not so bad though. However, after a handful of plays, there was one looped section on side 2.

My turntable plays other records just fine.

I returned the record for a new one. The first side was perfect. The second side had a skip in it and had a looped section on the exact same part as the first one I received.

You have been warned.

First, this is a great album. The record itself looks beautiful. Maybe it would be great to frame and put on a wall. But audio-wise, it doesn't hold up.
First, the packaging is a flimsy plastic sheet. The record came warped. This is probably a huge issue with picture discs. Picture Discs typically have terrible packaging. I have no idea why it cant come with in a study package like formal records. Maybe the package could a little window so one could see the record.
The record also becomes scratched very easily. I have hundreds of records, and I take good care of all of them. Nothing happened to this on at all. However, there is a chip side, which causes it to skip. Still, you can listen to it. This record is great for collectors, but not for Audiophiles.

This is a limited edition Picture Disc LP. Its amazing just to look at. Not your standard vinyl record. You'll really be impressed with this piece in your collection!

Looks and sounds great!

The LP sounds great, but I had some trouble with this album. I actually bought 2 diferent ones just to be sure it wasnt my turntable. It got stuck on a few grooves and skipped on a few. Maybe something about the picture interface some turntables have trouble. Also it weighs heavier than regular vinyl which oculd also explain it.

I think it should play fine on really high end turntables. But I wouldnt reccomend for an older one or a cheaper turntable.
