New Records noisy

wc65mustang......i have a way of bringing that quote out in people.....like when dan ackroyd would would say, "jane, you evil slut". for $40 the 45 rpm lp's should be quiet throughout the 4 sides and the gain should never have to be adjusted from side to side. even worse the unnatural break in the artist's 'song-cycle' is like an 8 track. at least they don't fade out a song on one side and fade in on another.

I have been very happy with recent Sundazed 180 Gram presssings, in fact I have not had to send a single one back. True their catalog is not full of your mainstream artists but I have purchased The Paul Butterfield Blues Band catalog,Love and The Stooges and I think the sound is awesome. When I compared my original pressing of Revisited by Love with the Sundazed it was neck and neck. And they are half the price of Classic. You can buy them online too and cut out the middle man. I have to agree that the quality of Classic has gone down hill,I've had to return two recordings in the last 6 months.

I bought a new 45 RPM Classic reissue Willie Nelson Stardust and one of the lp's out of the 5 was somwwhat noisy.I tried to hand clean it,and instead of making things better,it increased the surface noise dramatically.I know now I'll need to get a Nitty Gritty RCM to fix it now.
I think it's best with this current batch of reissues not to clean the new LP's we get.I IMO JUST SEEMS TO MAKE THINGS MUCH WORSE THEN BEFORE HAND.

This may make those ticks and pops a little easier to take...
