Vinyl Me Please Essentials

I have some loud surface noise on side A of the SK album. Anyone else? Side B sounds perfect. Nearly silent.

Do you think this is unacceptably loud? I kind of do. Its a short clip. You can hear it the most around the 4 second mark. I may just send this clip to VMP. SK Record Noise

Can you clean it? That kind of crackle sounds like dust in the grooves which should be fixable but I'm not positive.

If it doesn't clean out, unacceptably loud for sure.

Here's a pretty solid guess. Found this by combing through Discogs.

Jim Sullivan - U.F.O.

Evidence:
*1969
*Psychedelic rock, but not explicitly. Has influences of folk and country as well
*Label has only one release (in Discogs)
*Previously reissued by Light In The Attic, but never on colored vinyl
*Judging by the Have/Want ratio, very much obscure/cratediggerish
*The last cratedigger Essentials was also "found on Discogs" ;)

Hell of a story behind Jim Sullivan, it seems. His wife worked at Capitol Records, and he played prestigious local venues. Recorded two albums, and then disappeared with zero trace in 1975.

Coincidence, or not, Aquarium Drunkard just tweeted their 2010 read about the LITA re-release of U.F.O. They refer to it as an ESSENTIAL read. Maybe I'm reading into that too much??

Storf also just gave the next clue for all three tracks. "A solo act, a group, a group." I can only assume Jim Sullivan is the solo act. The guess lives on!

VMP's version better be pressed by RTI and include tip on jacket.

It will probably be pressed by GZ. But no stress because the recent Essential ROTM’s - Pheonix, Ben George, Experience Unlimited - all sound incredible and all those ROTM’s were pressed at GZ! 😃

I’m hoping there are no side exclusives for this ROTM. I just want side exclusives for The Roots’ ROTM and for the upcoming OutKast Essentials ROTM!

Jim Sullivan sounds like the end credits to a movie I'd watch once and then forget about. Gunna be a few listens before I decide if I want it but right now I'm leaning towards not.

Don’t think anybody needs to worry about getting this before it sells out. Also, a prime target to pick up on Discogs for $14 around February.
