Thanks! I will indeed go back and try to enjoy Blues Walk for the music, perhaps missing the badly afflicted cuts. It may have been made worse by the fact that initially I was listening on headphones, where things like channel dropouts really show up.

My guess now is that the pressing was done from a test recording, where the engineer was pulling faders to make decisions, and that the test recording was accidentally mastered without a listen.

My concern about writing to Blue Note was to let them know what was happening to works they had licensed, and maybe get a replacement of some kind. I bought my LP from the US via eBay, and doubt I will get a replacement that way.

Too bad about the original vinyl - I've been following it on eBay, and most of it goes for far beyond my price range - so I buy CDs. A recent mono Art Blakey "The Freedom Rider" escaped me with a last minute snipe at around US$60, so that's it for me until I win a lottery...
