Stylus stuck in groove.
@blisshifi It skips back into the same groove Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve ordered the cleaning solution.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Karajan’s 1959 recording of Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben on DG’s Resonance label. Stupendous sound and performance!  
Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs?
@atmasphere  Thanks for the explanation. “I'm very used to playing entire LP sides without any ticks or pops and I don't clean my records other than using a carbon fiber dust brush before each play” I have the same experience, except that I occ... 
Don’t look for perfection.
Perhaps my comment was a little overstated.

Some of my LP’s play all the way through without any perceptive noise.   Of course my ears aren’t want they used to be.  
Throw it out!

@koestner There are those which are salvageable.   If I only kept the perfect ones I’d soon run out of records.  
Warped record

@jeffseight  Feikert turntable, Origin Live Silver arm, Sutherland 20/20 Phon, Clearaudio Maestro cartridge. (Same results with Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge.)

Eva Cassidy "remastered"
I just received the LP today from Amazon after hearing it on Qobuz yesterday.   I was very skeptical as to how the orchestral accompaniment would work, but after hearing it,  I believe it fits like a glove.  Her genius transcends the medium. There...
