    I found this pressing to be pretty noisy. Might try to hint down a different one.

      Sounds and looks as good as my Orignal Monarch pressing but with almost no background noise on this reissue.

        Great pressing! Vinyl is flat and pretty clean (paper sleeves), and overall very quiet, which is good for this amazing intimate recording.

        Townes is truly in his element on this album; highly recommended!

          I just got this at Barnes and Noble...the sound is very nice and quiet with the occasional pop. This appears to be a 2021 reissue of the 2016 LP but without the hype sticker and card. The first record has a warp but it doesn't effect play. My Shure M55E tracks it pretty nice.

            My runout matrix matches but #20 is etched on both sides of sides A & B, #19 is on both sides of sides C & D.
