Cowboy Junkies on Classic Records Trinity Sessions

Totally disappointed. Crackles and pops throughout the disc. One so loud as to make me just about jump out of my chair.(first play right out of the jacket after a cleaning in the VPI) All this enjoyment for $40.00. I put on the old redbook CD and it sounds better than the record, go figure. I am starting to shy away from vinyl. I will keep my table for the cherished older pressings and flea market finds but new pressings are out. They should really be trying to do a better job, especially for the prices of this "audiophile quality vinyl".

I've had several on Classic Records than have been disappointing regarding vinyl quality. Dido comes to mind. Peter Gabriel "So" is very noisy.

As stickman541 says, the Revisited lp is very good!..although it isn't the original.

I know my post is 6 years later, but in the future, in addition to expressing feelings here, you should express these same feelings to the record label.

Having said this, if you are really into the positive things proper vinyl playback can bring to one's life, then just a few sub-par pressings should not prompt you to seemingly sway your opinion on vinyl for the future.

I'm listening to the original right now. Sounds good enough to me.
