Diana Krall - New Vinyl - Good sound - Poor Vinyl


I wonder if anyone else that has purchased this record feels like the vinyl is poor. I have cleaned my copy 3 times and still can't get all the ticks/pops/grundge off the record. I also noticed that it has about 25 minutes a side so maybe to much music squeezed onto this one. Anyway I feel it should have been on 2 discs instead of just one for the best possibly quality. The sound quality is great but the vinyl for me is problematic. Anyone else?

Sent mine back to Acoustic Sounds recently as well as the new Norah Jones LP..Both had the same poor quality Vinyl issues. So bad it was pathetic. In speaking with Brad, he mentioned its a known issue. Supposedly, Classic Records is aware and will be issuing new copies later this summer. I asked if RTI was to blame for the poor pressings, but he didnt think so, since RTI does many other labels as well...In the mean time I just bought the CD's to enjoy the music..But, the whole quality issue at Classic is just ashame.
I was going to buy it till i was warned by a friend that it sounded dismal. The music is supposed to be good, but it's hard to get past the pressing. Maybe I should buy the white vinyl. Classic has put out some good vinyl and has done some real junk too.

My Diana Krall Vinyl had some metallic coatings in the groove. It took few washings, but still the 'area' sounds bad.
Norah Jones Vinyl OTH is flawless.
It's not rocket science to get a clean groove. Quality control was missing when these were done. If they don't do some kind of recall, I am off to give other lables my money. Classic records has a BIG problem if this is the stuff they plan on selling in the future.
