How is the audio on the 12GCG 3LP set? Specifically the "Powder Blue" vinyl.

I am a big ween fan and have been awaiting these reissues for a very long time.

I got the chocolate and cheese 3LP, and while the audio is not perfect (there are some persistent clicks/pops), it is pretty good.

I also got the white pepper and the quebec. Other people had actual issues with their quebecs but I seem to have gotten lucky with mine.

However I think the white pepper sounds like dog shit. They took the CD final master which was already brickwalled to hell and put it directly on wax. They did not even use the "unmastered" version. Basically it sounds like a turd.

I understand that white pepper and quebec were sorta just put out 'as-is' and c&c and golden country greats got the 'remaster' and 'deluxe' treatments. I would like to know if anyone has the 12gcg 3LP set and can compare it to an original pressing. Does it sound better? Does it sound worse? It is $70. That is not bad for a 3LP but there is too much good stuff coming out at once. I just blew about that much on the electriclarryland reissue that just came out.

I really want 12gcg but only if it will blow me away in the audio dept. White pepper was so bad that I just gotta ask now.
