I have the original album in vinyl, but I haven't listened to it in a
loooong time. It definitely was one of my favorites at the time, and
probably has currently unacceptable clicks and pops from high useage.
Looks like I'll have to crank up the old Victrola (actually Dual or Garrard
- my Victrola doesn't like going that slowly) and listen with a tuner's ear
this time.

Yes! Guilty as charged.
