Excellent advice. Get it right at the source. Most likely some debris lodged in the groove.
Use a quality stylus, keep it clean and use good record cleaners and anti static cleaners.
Absolutely. I would also add to this that if after following the above advice rom CoinUp!, and your "clean transfer" still sounds like a bowl of rice krispies, you can go import into Logic (as that's what you have), zoom in the audio window and correct the waveform.
A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.
