New Records noisy

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?

"What do you do to clean them? What solution? What machine?" I guess, this question is for me ?
I use a Keith Monks, the solution is from Germany, I think,"L'Art du Son".
But it does not help, when the Vinyl shows it's problems.

Jaybo, I'm afraid you don't know what you’re talking about. The Analogue Productions 45's are splendid, some of the best recordings ever produced. They rival that of the early Decca recordings, Speakers Corner reissues are beautiful and consistent as well. What prey tell are you playing this vinyl on if you can't hear the difference? It is true that there is plenty of bad vinyl today, so was it true in the best days of the Lp for volume ie sixties and seventies. Try to find a decent Neil young record on Reprise, they all are plagued with surface noise, poor vinyl (material) quality. Your wrong on the account of the 45's being overrated though, I'm sorry.

I've purchased a few Classic records and for the most part have been happy with them. But the copy I bought new of Peter Gabriel 2 is completely wrecked on the lead in spiral of side 1, and visibly so, the vinyl is like an unpaved road so that the fade in of the sequencer is totally unpleasant to listen to. Side 2 is a little better but still suffers form too many ticks and pops. It's not dirty, I have a VPI 16 and the vinyl is simply badly manufactured, this one should have landed in the remelt bin but it snuck through their QC. I know, I should have returned it while I had the chance...anyone else have a similar experience?
