Hi,
I bought the recently released reissue of Patricia Barber's Modern Cool, a record I really looked forward to, as it is my favourite of all PB's releases. My disappointment was then great when I found that her voice in passages clearly is overly sibilant. No other distortion or so.
Am I the only one who experiences this? Does anyone have a copy and NOT experience this?
I returned my copy and was told by the dealer that the whole pressing run was ruined - but they are still selling it. I contacted another dealer, which has labeled the pressing as being perfect, but they called me being more critic than others. I own almost 3.000 LPs and buy 40-50 new ones (not used, new) every year, and this is the first one I have returned - ever. I accept various pressing errors, more than some other buyers do (I think), so I have a difficulty with being accused of being pedantic. This is also the only record I have heard this problem from, I believe my Lyra Kleos is correctly set up.
The dealers don't seem to care, and claim that no one else has complained. However, I found it odd that my copy, coming in that plastic-bag with zip-opening at the top, already had been opened - this looked like a previously listened-to and perhaps returned copy.
So... Am I the only one, do others experience this, or perhaps more important have a copy and DON'T experience it?
