Whats on your turntable tonight?

@reubent,

I think I undersold "One and All" earlier. I just finished listening again. I'd give it a 9 for music and a solid 9.5 for sonics.

@bdp24,

Who is the John you are referring to?

@reubent,

You inspired me to put on my lp copy of "Little Honey". My pressing is extremely noisy. The sonics here aren't quite up to her normal standards either. Lost Highway has had it's share of hits & misses. I’m hoping my newest US cleaner/method will help out. I’d be interested in how quiet your pressing is?

@slaw - Funny you should mention the noise on "Little Honey". I pulled mine from the used bin at my LRS, but when I pulled it out of the outer sleeve, the record was still in sealed plastic wrap. I cleaned it before playing. I only have a Spin-Clean as I'm not too bothered by minor clicks/pops and a little noise. However, I did find the noise level on "Little Honey" to be pretty high, especially for a new, never played, record. Love the music as I'm a huge fan of Lucinda and Buick 6. But I'm disappointed with the noise level. 

FWIW:

I just listened to my previously very noisy lp of "Little Honey".

After my first try with my new US cleaner, the noise level dropped noticeably, there is a sense of a space in time that was not there before. There is just some inherently noisy vinyl that can't be totally renwed.

I'd say the noisy pressing level dropped maybe 20% on this unusually particularly noisy pressing.  (This one was a hard one I'm sure to try and bring back to life.)

I have faith that other lps will bring better results.
