ONCE AGAIN THAT AMAZING "RED WAX" AND "EVER CLEAN" DOES AN AMAZING JOB OF GETTING THE BEST SOUND QUALITY OUT OF THE SOURCE MATERIAL.  VERY MILD CRACKLE ON "MICHELLE" WHICH IS A VERY QUIET BALLAD ANYHOW.  VERY MINOR CRACKLE BETWEEN A FEW TRACKS BUT IT RARELY CARRIES OVER TO THE START OF A SONG LIKE ON THE FIRST FEW SECONDS OF "IN MY LIFE".  NICE CLEAN, CLEAR HIGHS AND MID-RANGE AUDIO.  ONE SMALL POP ON EACH ON "NORWEGIAN WOOD" AND "GIRL".  THE MORE I HEAR THIS LP THE MORE I OVERALL THINK IT SOUNDS REALLY VERY NICE.  GRADES A STRONG "VERY GOOD PLUS".  A TOP COPY AND FIRST PRESSING!!!
