I had some superb LP equipment. If I never hear another LP in my life,
that will be too soon..

I hate LPs!

Compression. Inner-groove distortion. Pops. Ticks. Rumble. Wow.
Flutter.

Good riddance!

It sounds as though you have been using a poor
turntable/arm/cartridge, and have not bothered
to take care of your vinyl:-((
