ILLINOIS JACQUET Birthday Party Vol. 2


I have this vinyl album and absolutely love it, however during the last song on side two - "Polka Dots & Moon Beams"  I have a loud distortion that comes thru for just about a second or two.  I'm thinking it is a pressing defect.  

I'm wondering if any of you have this vinyl record and experience the same thing?  I have cleaned it very thoroughly with my VPI record cleaning and it is still there.  So I just refuse to play that side of the album as I do not want to take a chance of damaging my stylus or my equipment and speakers.

I don't know if it is worth it for me to try and find another copy of this album, or if they all have this defect?

I'm hoping some of you will be able to share some of your thoughts or experiences with me.

Thank you and best wishes,

Don

A second or two of distortion near the end of side two! Surely you can live with it! Is this an original pressing or reissue? 

So your stylus sails through this pressing defect? No problem then about damaging the stylus or blowing up your amp!
