It just really bumped me out to be honest. So could anyon tell me how this is possible with a brand new record and if there perhaps is some way for me to get rid of the crackles? It's not too bad when I listen to the record on my studio monitors though, they're definitely still there but it's not as annoying as when you're listening to the record on headphones. I just don't know how this is possible? The record itself looks fine by the way, there's no sign of any dirt or damages.

But when I played it I noticed an extensive amount of pops and crackles, and not just during some parts, no, I mean literally every second of every single track on both sides. The record was brand new as well, it was still sealed and came perfectly packed. It was Johann Johannsson - Copenhagen Dreams, an absolutely beautiful album. However though, yesterday I received a new record that had so many pops and crackles in it that it kind of shocked me. I take good care of all my records and all of them are still in very good condition. I've been buying vinyl for the past 2 years or so now, at the moment I've got about 350 records so still a relatively modest collection. First of all, my apologies for the necro bump on this one.
