I recently picked up that same recording, and have a very similar issue with just that track. Everything else sounds fantastic, but on that particular song distortion appears in the left channel during the loudest dynamic peaks of the vocals. Jimbojrjb, I look forward to hearing what you discover with a new copy.
Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth"
Does anyone have this new music fidelity pressing? Awesome to say the least, however on Track 3 on side one, "the wind that shakes the barley" I notice only on certain dynamic volume increases the recording sounds as though it was a little "hot" in the vocals? In other words I hear a ever so slight distortion for a split second no matter what volume level I listen to this track at. Could I have a bad pressing or do you think it's simply so resolving, it's coming through via the remaster? Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.
