Listening to side one, though the surface noise has diminished dramatically, the lp sounds compressed to me . Have to turn volume to 3 for it to start really rockin'.

Puttin' on Jack White "Fear of the Dawn" again after implementing some of my newest cleaning regimen.

That's his album I've seen mentioned most often for years . Thanks Spencer.

@slaw

What Mingus album would any of you suggest for a beginner?

The BG-mastered are probably the best sounding, but pricey. A million pressings of this. I would say it’s a top20 all-time jazz classic:  You probably know "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" from Jeff Beck"...this is the OG.

Jack is such an interesting artist. IMO, "EHA" is more dynamic and open than "FOTD". These are impressions from just one listen. They are both great albums from a content perspective. I'd give "EHA" a solid 9.
