Super Session; Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper, and Steve Stills made one hell of a serious album in that "session". I have an original copy and also bought a reissue from Speakers Corner.
Regarding Led Zeppelin, I have most of their albums on vinyl, all original. I recently bought Houses of the Holy, remastered, trusting that Jimmy Page involvement would bring quality to market. What a disappointment! It sounded so digital and strained. I returned it for a refund. I put my original copy through two more rounds of Nitty Gritty vacuum cleaning and that seemed to help reduce more of the noise I was trying to get past by purchasing the reissue. The original sounds so much more pleasing than the reissue, even still with some vinyl noise. I really need to get a US cleaning machine and upgrade my entire cleaning process.
By the way, I am glad to take some suggestions and advice on that subject. I am looking at purchasing the Kirmus US machine. That system includes (but I don't think absolutely requires) that you clean your vinyl using their chemical system that removes all mold release compounds and other cleaning liquids you may have used. If I were to use that cleaning chemical first, in the Kirmus US machine, do you guys suggest to then use a final rinse with distilled water and vacuum dry with the Nitty Gritty? Etc... I welcome advice on a better regimen than the Nitty Gritty vacuum system I have. I strongly believe I need to advance to a US machine but I also believe there is probably a total regimen that will do wonders. Please let me know your thoughts.
In advance, thank you for your help.
