According to Producer John Pfeiffer, the masters were damaged because some zealot scrubbed the original metal molds with a wire brush. His apparent purpose was to eliminate discoloration in the metal. What he accomplished was the scarring of the record grooves. For this release, the original recordings were converted to tape, then edited (snipping out offensive clicks and pops took hundreds of hours). Though some of the old surface noise is still to be heard, it is tolerable...
