Noobie. Vinyl reissues. Am I expecting too much?

I'm a thrift shop/garage sale/flea market bottom feeder. Recently got involved with older then new reissues. First 45 album turned out to have manufacturing defects do returned it (MFSL Barber). Traded it for an ORG Diana Krall album (33) and a Cannonball Adderly 45 from AP.

The Diana Krall album has crackles on one side so I think it's going back too. The AP was great - after I cleaned it (quite oily fingerprint covered). I have had a number of OJC albums that are trouble free.

I guess my question is this - as I move up the food chain, should I expect audio improvement combined with manufacturing/packing issues? Am I expecting too much or just bad luck?

Sorry to be trite, but this subject has been beaten to death on the forums here. Do a search and read all of the info.

I, myself, have had tremendous success with all the new reissues and I buy most of them. Others will claim the opposite...
