The LP is a classic fail. The music is excellent and sounds pretty good on the CD, but the vinyl is of very very poor quality. During quiet passages you will hear a roar of non-stop surface noise that destroys the presentation. Maybe if you could buy and try a few copies for around $5 or less each I'd try to find a clean one-- but I doubt it exists. Can't clean the noise off either-- it is just a crappy pressing plain and simple. Haven't looked at the dead wax but would bet it was pressed at United or Rainbo!
