    My copy is flat and plays almost perfectly quiet, excellent master!

      Mine sounds perfect. No snap. No crackle. No pop. Glad I took a chance.

        I'm not sure what to think of the music at this point lol but I am floored at how quiet the vinyl is considering it's such a quiet overall recording, nary a tick or pop on my copy.

          ...I'm not sure if I got a later pressing, but my copy of this reissue sounds fine. A little hint of surface noise, but that's not surprising considering how quiet a lot of this piece is...

            This is a joke... such subtle sounds in a hideous sea of snap crackle and pop... terrible pressing... back to Amazon it goes....

              Also burned by this pressing. Sounds absolutely terrible. Awfully quiet and excessive surface noise.

                Shocking pressing - i thought someone had dropped my stylus, had to do a full line check to make sure it wasn't me!

                  is anyone else experiencing dirty pressings with this reissue? the quality is actually decent, but i've had two copies so far with either a lot of crackles, or audible marks. it's a pity, the music is amazing...
