Little Girl Blue problem

Posted by ColoKurt (A) on September 28, 2016 at 16:56:01

I'm on my second disc of the recent Nina Simone "Little Girl Blue" reissue. With the first disc I bought I heard significant distortion or break-up of the sound on the loudest musical passages for both sides of the record. I returned that disc for a new one. When I played the first side of the new record, it sounded great and I thought "Awesome--problem solved". Wrong. When I played the second side I heard the same distortion on loud passages--especially on Plain Gold Ring.

Is this a pressing defect? The fact that side 1 was much better on the second disc leads me to believe so. If it is a defect does it have a name? Most of the record sounds great; its just when the playing gets more intense that things go awry. Also, could there be something wrong with my table/cartridge that is making things worse? I turned up the VTF a bit and it seemed to get better but didn't go away. I'm mainly using a Technics SP10mk2 with 12" Jelco arm and Denon DLS1 cart and I haven't noticed this issue on any other recordings yet.

Any advice would be appreciated.
