Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth"

Does anyone have this new music fidelity pressing? Awesome to say the least, however on Track 3 on side one, "the wind that shakes the barley" I notice only on certain dynamic volume increases the recording sounds as though it was a little "hot" in the vocals? In other words I hear a ever so slight distortion for a split second no matter what volume level I listen to this track at. Could I have a bad pressing or do you think it's simply so resolving, it's coming through via the remaster? Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

Inna, why so harsh? I understand your point, and I am simply trying to ensure I don't have an issue with my table or equipment. Idle tinkering is all, so relax dude, it is simply a question.

Decibell, I spoke to the guys again at Music Direct and finally they admitted they have received several calls regarding this issue. They offered me a new copy but I declined since I already have 2 copies and am willing to accept the fact that it's in the pressing. Why is shows up in some systems and not in others is a mystery. Oh well, I'm moving on and enjoying the other 999 records I have in my catalog.

Peace

Nothing harsh at all. I just thought that you are getting stuck with that. Great album, by the way. You could consider getting the original UK pressing. Expensive, yes, but worth it.

I agree, I found one on auction for $100.00 from Holland.........yikes that's a pretty penny. Thanks again to all and happy listening.

I have an early pressing of the MoFi release and an original UK 4AD pressing. Both play clean without the distortion in Lisa Gerrard's voice you describe.
