Well this is the $0.25 soul record I originally had by Curtis (not recently obtained "Sweet Exorcism" that I posted a few weeks ago) and as you can see its got a water damaged cover like a few other's in the basement of my first house. I have been searching for best setting for these old scratchy soul records and had to pull my "Isley Brothers" rips last week because I veered too far off the optimum 44.1 kHz setting trying 192,000 kHz (studio quality) and forgot that with PC recording software anything over the magic number of 44.1 kHz (like the old blog PVAC 44.1) will make the frequencies bump into each other and create noise! However my crackle knob setting at 100% MAY have it's own noises from cutting the pop's also static noise bundle can linger from the phono player if I don't watch carefully. But mainly I think like on the title track the record gets grooved badly from my cheap old panasonic all-in-one record player from back then or I record too loud with boost too high and the speakers get blown or something. Also turning line-in volume down too low can mess with the trebles as well. Seems O.K. on headphones right now but in my car who knows, I play all at max bass, mid level's a little less and treble at normal so I think those speakers are getting blown The late 70's and later with no crackle seem O.K. Also the MC5 was taken down and Shock LP to be redone.
