    Awful pressing, full of pops and clicks that persist after cleaning the record twice

      There is a misprint on the label of side B, stating that it is Somethin' Else by Cannonball Adderley.

          Took a chance on this re-issue and so glad I did. It is excellent in both sound quality and extremely low noise. Highly recommended and superb value for money.

            Just got this one in - a very very enjoyable spin! Low/no noise floor, dynamic crisp sound, if you aren't near a store that carries it grab it on Amazon for $21.

                My first copy had some pops and clicks. Replacement copy was right on and sounds excellent.

                  Washed and ultrasoniced half a dozen times and still disappoints. Pops and static at random places and just flat out disappoints because the music is so good. Shame on BN/Optimal for this one.

                    Dreadful pressing. Constant clicks and pops throughout. Cleaned twice with rcm but no improvement. Clearly some good pressings and some poor pressings out there. A quality control lottery.
