****Production note (skip it if you just wanna enjoy the music) *****
This is a record purchased from Discogs, marked as NEAR MINT. I cleaned the record (see below for my methods) and discovered (no software correction of clicks and pops):

1. Surface noises throughout the record. Because the music is often loud, at times they are less audible.

2. But in quieter passages (03:09) (10:50), (13:42); they are so audible that affect enjoyment of the record (especially you are playing the music loud, through a good music system)

3. I would say this record should be TAKEN AS A "VERY GOOD PLUS" (or VERY GOOD) RECORD in Discogs standard.

https://support.discogs.com/hc/en-us/artic...
"A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. "

For VERY GOOD:
"Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise"

I think Discogs can simply sample some audio samples like me and set the standard. It's so SIMPLE AND PEOPLE CAN HAVE REFERENCES for negotiation.

Cleaning machines:
Nitty Gritty - 1st round to clean the most obvious mold (of any) or visible dirts.
KlAudio KD-CLN-LP200
Ultrasonic record cleaner - 2nd round, to take a way very small debris buried inside the grooves.
