CLEANING
– wet/dry wipe for 1st play

MASTERING
– It’s a Bernie Grundman so it’s really good. Although the bass on this is a bit much. It’s warm and full. The guitars aren’t hot at all. Probably could cut the bass down some. Vocals stand up well.

PRESSING
– Optimal pressing, so I’d expect a few P/Cs and there are some but not as bad so as the original press I have.
– Most are between songs.
– “Country Road” has PCs through it. A scrub clean might take care of those.
– “You’ve Got A Friend” has a few.
– “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight” is kind of bad. Hit a patch of static/muffle/distortion. Dry brushed the stylus and its still there right as the sax solo begins and it remains. A wet wipe helped some so I think a spin clean will fix it. Will try that and if that doesn’t work I may exchange this one.
