Diana Krall - New Vinyl - Good sound - Poor Vinyl

I wonder if anyone else that has purchased this record feels like the vinyl is poor. I have cleaned my copy 3 times and still can't get all the ticks/pops/grundge off the record. I also noticed that it has about 25 minutes a side so maybe to much music squeezed onto this one. Anyway I feel it should have been on 2 discs instead of just one for the best possibly quality. The sound quality is great but the vinyl for me is problematic. Anyone else?

It really stinks when a brand new pressing comes to you with ticks and pops. I wonder if they're pulling the same trick as many of the domestic labels and using "recycled" vinyl.

I have nothing against recycling vinyl, but they should at least remove the labels before they grind them up. I'll bet the imperfections you're hearing are tiny bits of paper embedded in the grooves. You'll *never* get them out...
