I agree with whomper here - it could quite quite easily just be another bad pressing.

In the days when I was buying vinyl LPs I can remember with some recordings (even on major labels) having to take them back more than once to finally get a good pressing that played properly.

If your TT is playing other LPs ok then it is far more likely to be a badly pressed or mastered LP at fault.

Hmm ok....

It's from Wichita Records - they aren't massive, but certainly not small either - and have been doing this for a while.

Thanks for the advice - I'll make sure the other records still playing correctly then go searching.

pressing for a third party who mastered it badly

but use a cd approach ala loudness war style mastering
