Rickie Lee Jones "Pop Pop"

What about compression on It's Like This side D "Cycles"?
The high notes sound not irritating, but I lose the 3-D quality, they sound machine-made rather than human. Anybody else hear this?

I don't hear this on Pop Pop, but I've got the Alto version. Are you talking about the ORG? Not nearly as good in my system at least.

Thanks to all. What I do want to clarify is that I find the entire LP very well done except for her voice on that one track only. And I did notice I may have had it cranked a bit much on the ole volume knob, so I lowered it a bit. From what I can tell is that her voice on this particular track is a bit forward at times, but the accoustic instruments a stellar! Thanks again to everyone's input as I am a bit of a greenhorn when it comes to vinyl.

I have the ORG version and there is some distortion on "I'll Be Seeing You" at the start of the words ...morning.., ...park..., ...always... and...day... It sounds as if she moves slightly closer to the mike and loads it up or ( put proper terminology
here)

Samhar, that is exactly what I am hearing. I tried a cart change but it's still there.

Before my first response I re-checked alignment with Mint LP Best Tractor adjusted VTF, VTA and anti skate.
