It's a great album, but my copy has a constant crackle coming from the right channel. I assume it's a bad pressing. It does sound great otherwise, but sometimes the crackle is hard to ignore. I checked other records and there is no crackle, so I know it's not an alignment issue. I'm thinking about emailing them to ask for a replacement. Got nothing to lose...

Hmmmm . . . my copy should be here in a few days. Be interesting to see if it has the same problem.

Fascinating process but I would have thought they'd have more of a "clean room" environment.

How does it sound? It seems this album mastering is an upgrade from the last two. Is it?

My copy is very quiet, better than most.
