New Records noisy

I have a few Super Analogue Disc Japanese pressing re-issue's from Cisco that were noisy. I was very suprised at that..I should have sent them back, but didn't. I have found the most quiet recordings consistantly to be the Telarcs and Chesky's. The re-issue Classic Records have also been very good to me.

I know that the quality of the vinyl is critical..virgin vinyl being the best with at least 180g or more...but I suppose its an issue of QC as with any recording process.

I too am conscious of the problem yet, not completely clear to the cause. Vinyl formulae appears to be part of the culprit. Classic Records spotty issuing frustrates me to no end. There are reasons I'm sure, There is no excuse! Speakers Corner and Analogue Productions as Rushton commented are superb. There are also a large group of smaller record companies who seem to have it right, take the release of Richard Thompson -The old kit Bag on Diverse records is spooky cool or the new Spoon release -Gimme Fiction on Merge records or Ry Cooder Manuel Galban's - Mombo Sinuendo on Nonsuch are outstanding pressings, just to name a few. Given the caliber of these performances it's a blessing that someone didn't screw up the vinyl pressing. It's too bad to say but there are many beautiful performances plagued by a vinyl pressing science that should all but be academic at this point IMHO. Happy listening!

Thanks for your answers. I am a bit confused, because Classic records made my way into Analog. But why should I go on, when the records are noisy, or let's say, when they are worse than years ago. I think, when they have no more time to take care of the pressings, because they need the time to count their money, I will stay away.
But same for Cisco, I bought 2 times the Doc Watson ' Home again ', the first one is a pain to listen to, clicks and pops and groove noises like mad, the other one I bought a few months later is definetly better, but still not perfect. Now we have the year 2005 and I don't want to discuss about analog/digital, but with stuff like that it's no fun to listen to analog.

there are only a handful of pressing plants left and the runs from the labels are down to as low as 350 pieces. the vinyl is not always from the same place or the same quality. cost cutting is affecting the manufacturers.in many ways, the wheels are coming off the specialty vinyl business. the 45rpm discs are also very overrated.

What do you do to clean them? What solution? What machine?
