Three Blind Mice 45RPM 6LP set opinions


Has anyone listened to the The Best of Three Blind Mice 45RPM set from Boxstar Records? I listened to their Julie London 45RPM release the other day and found her voice unnatural (very resonant to the point of annoying) and two tracks had surface noise to the point where listening was not enjoyable. Before I break the seal on the Best of Three Blind Mice set, I thought I'd ask what others think of that release and perhaps their experience with Boxstar, in general. Thanks in advance.

Listened to four sides of the Three Blind Mice reissues and the sound is great. There are a couple of ticks on one of the sides. For the money spent on these audiophile LPs, I expect quiet records. I just listened to Mulligan Meets Webster today, a 45 rpm issued by the Original Recording Group and while the sound is the best I've ever heard of this recording, I was amazed to hear two loud pops in a row on one of the sides. Really annoying. Am I being unrealistic in my expectations? Seems to me that for the money we spend on the 45rpm releases, they should be quiet. As for Julie London, I got a replacement 45rpm set and it's quiet and the hyper resonance I experienced with the first copy is gone. Sounds terrific.
