Sibilance

There are different remasters of that album and they sound different. Sometimes it's hard to tell which version is being streamed.

+1.
That album has been remastered so many times it's almost impossible to know what version you are getting....

That being said, I just listened to "Time" on CD and via streaming (Amazon), and neither version I heard had any sibilance in it.

I'd say your "luck of the draw" was probably just that....lousy luck.
Unless you're hearing sibilance in most everything, I'd say it's not indicative of a problem.

I will listen to old gold CD today.
