I bought this "remastered" vinyl album, thinking that it would sound better than my original vinyl album from 1969. My vinyl from 1969 sounds good, but this remastered one should sound excellent, right? Boy, was I in for a surprise and not of the pleasant type. The remastering must have been performed by Rice Krispies.
I put on this new album and noticed the snap, crackle, pop right away. I inspected it for scratches, lint, dust, etc. I didn't see any, but I used Pfan-stat Record Cleaning Fluid and a Record-Happy Cleaning Cloth just in case my failing eyesight may have missed something. No dice. !@#$%&*
I'm no audiophile, but I do enjoy good music. There are many positive reviews of this album. Perhaps the vinyl I received was just a bad pressing. I will ask to have it replaced. If I receive a suitable replacement, I will update this review. However, in the interim, I will enjoy my vinyl from 1969 . . .
P.S. My wife says that it sounds like a bonfire.
