I picked up this gem at a used record store. The lable said "near mint," and that was only a slight exaggeration. This is a wonderful sounding pressing of one of my favorite albums. I split the album into five tracks because that is the format to which we are accustomed. I used the preset named "Old Record - Quiet Audio" in Cool Edit Pro's Click/Pop Eliminator on the first 21 seconds.I used Click/Pop Eliminator's "Fill Single Click Now" option to eliminate two other pops. No other noise reduction or editing was done.I also included cue files that divide the album into the twelve tracks that are implied on the album lable. Just open the file "Multiple FLAC (5 files, 12 tracks).cue" with foobar or AutoFLAC if you would like the five files displayed as twelve tracks instead of five.
