Steam cleaning records 2

I am surprised no one mentioned Greg Lake. Maybe I missed it. As far as Fogerty? Puleeze..... 
Weird issue with my VPI... please help
I don't believe the problem you are having has anything to do with cart/arm mismatch. I still believe you either have a bad cart, or it was incorrectly connected causing a phasing problem.
