I re ripped Ed Ames Christmas Is the Warmest Time of the Year
I re ripped Ed Ames "Christmas Is the Warmest Time of the Year" without using any noise reduction other than hum and what I could remove of the pips and pops. The tracks don't sound tinny this way. I will edit the original post to reflect this change too.

Ed Ames - Christmas Is the Warmest Time of the Year
Ed Ames “Christmas Is the Warmest Time of the Year” – RCA Records LSP-4385 1970
I found this today at a Thrift Store. The artwork isn’t in the best of shape, especially on the upper right hand corner of the back where it has been torn off.
The album has a few scuffs here and there and light scratches but it doesn’t skip. (The vinyl did look better at the Thrift Store but for its age it really isn’t in that bad shape)
I did my best at eliminating pips and pops and background noise but on a couple tracks, to me, they sound a little “tinny” I don’t know if it has something to do with them being a higher bitrate or what, but it only happened on a couple tracks and only after I tried eliminating the background noise. It was fine after the 60Hz hum removal and fine after the removing of the pips and pops. (I save the file after each step)
This album was recorded in RCA’s Music Center of the World, Hollywood, California, and Webster Hall, New York City.
EDITED 8/23/09 I re ripped the album and didn't use any background noise removal so the songs don't sound tinny.
