New LP with pops + crackle, What is expected?

It is so frustrating to pay twice the price of a cd for an album and have as much surface noise as a $4.00 used LP.
But the downside, for the dealers, is that they eat it. The record distributer and pressing company retain their profits and let the dealers just take it in the shorts. What needs to be done is to have a method of exchange with the pressing company that made the bad copy in the first place. If they started having to cut into their profit margins and absorb the cost. Maybe they would develope the accountability for charging what they do for an LP. They may even take on the responsibility of better quality at pressing. If they spend the time to remaster a title, then they should finish the job and maintain that level of quality to acheive it's final goal, a better than original release LP.
I think that we AudioGon members should form a coalition that will boycott recordings that will only buy from those companys that offer consistancy in quality. We must be the majority of the customer base, what other demographic can they be targeting? Food for thought...

I stopped buying new records. When you look here, lots is written about that.

I stopped buying "New" vinyl from the online stores. I will buy NOS online. Used vinyl played with a deep tracking cartridge/stylus works well for me.

Well if your going to get old records some had bad noise back in day.Wax was crap re-melt in 70's to save money and being a jazz guy you could count on a Blue Note from 50's or 60's sounding great even after you got surface lines but some like Roost came crappy out of factory noisy and maybe bubles.It's not like the Fed's maintained quality control.If it's pressing send it back media mail nand try again.Also get a vacuum cleaning machine and use good cleaner BEFORE first play as any grit or chemicals that are there in first place given the heat and pressure are welded in grooves.If I spend $50 on a new or old LP I go through elaborate cleaning procedure (use pre clean then run it through machine-lot's of threads here about "cleaning rituals")and then treat it with LAST preservative which keepo mthem for 40-100 plays befor eneeding re-treatment.But if it's in the pressing itself return it.Some of those $50 LP's might cost hundreds for a original in good condition so many factors go into it.Like a poet said "Oh seasons oh castles what's life without hassles?"Of course bitching to seller and getting them to eat shipp is worth a shot.

Try an anti-static gun as well as cleaning a new record, the Milty Zerostat is a must...... In my case I found most of the pops came from static.
