MoFi tinged with distortion

Hi there,

I recently aquiered Aimee Mann's Bachelor No2 on Mobile Fidility's GAIN2 (Serial number 212) vinyl - stunning album.

What bothers me is that the vocals are slightly "tinged" with distortion... I have noticed this on the 'Lost in Space' album aswell. Other records play just fine...

What can cause this - is the resording meant to be like this? What is your findings?

Yours,
Dewald Visser

Damaged. Usually resulting from a record being played on a turntable setup improperly.

Hi, I own both of the same records. I love them both very much. I think they call it grunge music for a reason. I notice a bit of distortion in the guitar work. My turntable is set up properly so I am assuming that the artist or the engineer intended it to sound this way.
Anyway, the music is fantastic on both of these pieces.

It's the recording............... Not your MoFi record.

It is ONLY the vocals - the other instruments on the record sounds amazing...

but then again I have Madeleine Peyroux - this is one of the most awesome LP's that I have ever heard! Perfect in every way...

BTW - My machine is set up precisely and I take extremely good care of my cartridge...
