When I saw this new D2D release I was excited to get it it has all the right stuff.
Groove Note has a new all analogue, vinyl only Groove Note Black Label
sounds good to me plus...
D2D
45rpm
double LP 180g (though I don't think its virgin vinyl)
and Bernie Grundman himself was directly involved even the dead wax bears his signature.

The Music is good although the artists are unknown to me it's fun to listen to
a jazz and world music mix.
The vinyl looked really good and was perfectly flat
The mastering is impeccable and dynamic as should be for a D2D.
but that's as far as it goes

this is the 2nd vinyl record I recently purchased in as many weeks where the vinyl is noisy.
The record hiss actually drowned out the the piano in some places!

Why go through the trouble to do 45 rpm D2D and then press it on a noisy record?
It was a waste of time.
For the artists the master cutter and mine.

The whole reason for D2D is no tape hiss!
Its this kind of thing that will keep new people from buying vinyl again and back to their CD's.
One more thing the Jacket crap a thin cheap paperboard and has already come apart at the seams.
For 49.99 + shipping it was a real disappointment.

Although the surface noise has calmed down a bit since I have played it about 5 times but still not enough.
