Tick on 30th anniversary Dark Side

Greetings Fellow Audiogon Members!
I finally received my 30th anniversary Dark Side of the Moon LP on heavy, virgin vinyl. I washed the record prior to playing with my favorite "Disc Doctor" system and placed the record into a new rice paper sleeve. I had a chance to listen to it this evening, and on side one, at the very beginning, is an annoying tick that leads into the first song, then disapates. For $30.00, I believe no ticks should exist. Anyone else experience the same problem? Do you think all copies will possess the tick?
Another item I have been wondering about deals with the wonderful "Classic Records" 200 gram Quiex SV-P series. These records are so quiet, I can not even hear my stylus contact the surface upon touch down! Do you think these records are "softer" than others? Do you think that the life expectancy of the record will suffer? I always appreciate your feed back!
Regards,
Lou

My copy had quite a few pops and when I bought it. I then started using Paul Frumkins LP cleaning fluid. Just one more reason why I use Paul's formula. LP now sounds great.

I was disappointed with the sound quality on my Dutch pressing which cost 30 bux. I bought two; one to listen to and another to keep sealed for whatever. Wish I had bought neither; the MFSL gold CD I picked up a few years back sounds better.
