ah yes somebody selling something you don’t yet have….i got my Two Against Nature LP from a Discogs vendor named “ Giant Leech “…. for 2X RSD in store price…. above that, i don’t wanna play and ( for me ) having that particular disc bordered on obsession…
since i spend time in recording studios, mastering, mobile recording….and i work with a great mentor and engineer…i am acutely aware of intentional distortion and downstream effects….great care need be taken in the SS ( if any ) parts of the chain…. Our belief is upper harmonics and IM, TIM are at work mucking things up…..
I will listen to album you guys are citing and see, but its likely not the microphone itself, that overdrive and breakup is not clean, the mic amp likely…..fun…
i was lucky, never had a Vinyl destroyer in family…Dad had Dual w Shure Type II, my first system at 17 was $75 ( gulp Grado Black ), Denon DP-790 W table, Onkyo A-5 Integrated ( Class A to 5 w )…and Infinity Qb…it was completely bad A…

Lucky bastard, I know…
