45 RPM "remasters" always sound awful. Fact. Lord knows who commisioned this nonsense.

I purchased a new and sealed copy of the 2017 limited (500) 180gm virgin vinyl pressing and feel I have to say/warn other buyers that this is very disappointing for something hyped as a high quality pressing, it is not!
There are numerous pops throughout both sides and in two places on each side the needle would not track and got stuck. I had cleaned it with my usual anti-static carbon brush first but after the needle had tracked through some of the grooves it seemed to be pulling an excessive amount of particulate out. I promptly cleaned the record on my Pro-Ject wet vacuum and this removed the tracking issues but I simply cannot believe this is high quality manufacture on virgin vinyl, there is just too much surface noise.
