@puffball08 reminded me I hadn’t spun any George for a while….

George Harrison - Dark Horse. Apple 1974


Treo Mafia! 👍🏼

@bkeske  What condition is your "Dark Horse" in?  By that, I mean any peculiar surface noise?

My "Living In The Material World" is awful.  Terrible surface noise which is evident throughout the record on both sides.  The record was allegedly pressed at Capitol in Jacksonville, IL.  Generally, they do a pretty good job.  But on this release, early '73 according to Discogs, they used some kind of mold release agent that won't come off.  It's visible from the matrix throughout the grooves to the edges of the record on both sides.  I've tried several surfactant treatments and 3 trips through the Degritter to no avail.

I compare this with John Lennon's "Walls and Bridges" plus the Red and Blue Beatles double LP compilations both from the 1973/74 era and pressed at Capitol-Jacksonville which are pristine.
