Noobie. Vinyl reissues. Am I expecting too much?


I'm a thrift shop/garage sale/flea market bottom feeder. Recently got involved with older then new reissues. First 45 album turned out to have manufacturing defects do returned it (MFSL Barber). Traded it for an ORG Diana Krall album (33) and a Cannonball Adderly 45 from AP.

The Diana Krall album has crackles on one side so I think it's going back too. The AP was great - after I cleaned it (quite oily fingerprint covered). I have had a number of OJC albums that are trouble free.

I guess my question is this - as I move up the food chain, should I expect audio improvement combined with manufacturing/packing issues? Am I expecting too much or just bad luck?

I was also brought up on the clicks and pops of vinyl not to mention other anomalies . But once CD players and DAC's improved I became less tolerant of these issues . Eventually I parted with my analog rig , no regrets .
