Diana Krall - New Vinyl - Good sound - Poor Vinyl


I wonder if anyone else that has purchased this record feels like the vinyl is poor. I have cleaned my copy 3 times and still can't get all the ticks/pops/grundge off the record. I also noticed that it has about 25 minutes a side so maybe to much music squeezed onto this one. Anyway I feel it should have been on 2 discs instead of just one for the best possibly quality. The sound quality is great but the vinyl for me is problematic. Anyone else?

clarock- is there an article to reference regarding the number of tracks put on a record side affecting sonic quality?
Is squeezing as many tunes on a side really detrimental to sonic quality?

I generally don't purchase new music and spend my time in the used record bins with music pre 80's.
I have many albums with practically no dead wax because there are so many songs! 
The sonic quality seemingly isn't different than an album with less songs and 4" of dead wax.

Next week I will take a couple of records to the LA show. Included will be some with "too many cuts" One in particular always gets comments from listeners/exhibit guy as being a WOW! record.

I also don't hear the big deal with 180gm discs. My floppy, limp  noodle dynaflex Bowie albums sound great. Maybe I'm just more concerned with ticks/stitches. A clean, noise free record with great music is all that matters.
