the copy i have of the young ones has none of the above issues it is a really good original recording. i have played it a few times now though the computer and in an old cd player and i would say its perfect. and i would recomend it to anyone who wants to relive the young ones moment.
and just to add i am one who likes listening to my old 45`s with the crackle, thats how we first heard these songs stactic crackle needle sticking no remastering warts and all. remastering in my opion takes away from the original sounds who want sterile sounds give me some old time snap crackle and pop

but back to the point i have this cd and it is a really good issue. peter
