@spiritofradio  I have not listened to "For Everyman" in many years.  I'll clean it and listen to it today.  I'll let you know about it's SQ.  I have to say, though, I have plenty of albums from that era, the early-to-mid 70s, that are excellent SQ.  For many albums in general, I find that some pressing runs can be very poor compared to others, of the very same album.  Vinyl sounds so wonderful, but production can be an issue in SQ due to a lack of consistency.
Darn it all, why can't they all sound as good as my great ones!
@mammothguy54, 

Yes, I agree. I should have said instead that  I’m learning that many but certainly not all records of that era were made with inferior vinyl that hasn’t held up well even if it ever sounded any good.  And you’re right, I’m learning too that some times it’s a pressing by pressing question.   These are things known to many more experienced record nuts around here that I’m just catching on to.  Another reason why I appreciate the wisdom here.  Looking forward to hearing what you think about your copy of “Everyman”.  Maybe I just need to seek out a better copy.

This is to me one of the most beautiful objects ever made, even notwithstanding the superb sound craft. It’s miraculous if you think about what a thing this is and what it represents.
