Somehow 4 Men with Beards has the absolute quietest, nicest vinyl. I don't know how they do it. I've got a fairly decent Grado cartridge that not only picks up about 90 percent of the music but also 90 percent of any imperfections (surface noise), and even with headphones, I hear hardly anything in those grooves that is not music. No hiss, nothing. I wish all vinyl makers these days could do as fine a job.
