The one and only time I've cut clicks out of an LP was on one even the
various broadcast libraries couldn't find another of. It was for an ITV
schools' broadcast with no budget to have it specially recorded. Won an
international Emmy too - but not for the music. ;-)

I make digital transcriptions for various reasons.

1) To remove clicks from old LPs.

2) To avoid the need to have to play the same LP again, risking added
wear to my ancient Shure styli, etc.

3) Convenience of being able to play the results in rooms where I don't
have the record deck.

Some of the second-hand LPs I bought are worn and so still sound lousy.
But others - after a careful declicking - sound very good. And I find it
easier to relax and enjoy the music when I'm not anticipating rifle shot
accompaniment.

Yes - all very valid. I did look up the date of the prog I was talking
about - 1986. So rather before digital audio workstations became common.
Although the company I worked for had bought its first AudioFile by then.
But that was fully occupied dubbing 'The Bill' ;-)
