Jeff Buckley ‎– Grace

This review is not about the actual music, but about the quality of the vinyl pressing. I've found it to be the poorest pressing of a record that I've ever come across. Scratchy noises, pop and clicks, and just plain awful sounding -- especially Side B. I bought it brand new, mint condition, opened the package myself, and it sounds like a well used record from 30 years ago. Plus, I have no idea what kind of plastic was used, but it is *very* static producing, to the point that it cannot be listened to on a dry summer's day. It's one of my favourite albums that I listen to on CD but really cannot stand to listen to it on vinyl, the quiet songs such as Hallelujah are overpowered by the noises (yeah, I'm returning it, and will try another copy).
