Mistracking


I am re starting this thread with new found additions.

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.

I installed a new Rega Exact cart which has the 3 point allignment that locks you into a nearly perfect tracking angle and I still hear the same ever so slight distortion in the left channel only. Again, only on the parts of the song where Lisa really belts out a lyric. And I tried it with a Graham Slee Era Gold phono preamp, same situaion.

Could the vinyl be damaged due to mistracking with a shibata stylus on the 2M black??

I'm at a total loss.

As many of you have pointed out, and I would like to repeat is that out of my 900 plus LP's this is the ONLY one with this issue, and I have to identical copies, that have been played on 2 vastly different systems with different tables, cartridges, phono preamps, etc and I hear the issue no matter what or where I play this track on. AND its the only track on the LP that I hear any issue. So I'm inclined to chaulk it up as an issue with the pressing and or so called "re mastering" and call it a day.

Many of you have however enlightened me on several key issues and I thank you for that.
