I don't have any crackle as others have mentioned. Nice copy from VMP and the opening track is stellar.
The mastering is AWESOME, but did anyone else experience an underlying crackle specially on A1-A2? It's really easy to notice on my copy's A1 beginning/end, and throughout A2. 💔
Very nice sonically but would have liked to see at least a poly lined inner sleeve i stead of cheap paper style that leaves marks and debris on the vinyl…very flimsy outer sleeve as well…not the normal VMP standard- Edited 2 years agoThe ratings for this album and its various editions seem to be all over the place. This may be because it is definitely of its time ( the early 70s) and from a period in Ray`s career where he had total artistic control and he recorded whatever he fancied. So what you have here is a collection of overly sentimental, maudlin tracks that are kind of corny. However as a middle aged 21st century man, I can actually appreciate what's here. Its family friendly and speaks to a wide range of people. I am a big fan of Ray Charles and am overall happy with this 50th anniversary edition. The mastering is rather nice and engaging and treats Ray's work with the respect due to a legend. It is actually worth it for his gospel drenched America the Beautiful. Maybe more for fans like myself, not really essential listening.

I think it's a reissue of the 1972 album. I also have this releasereferencing A Message From The People (LP, Album) HPS 91-22
