why is it that on some records, sound terrible??


why is it that on some records, that when you get towards the end of one side the sound of the record changes big time. were it sounds terrible, but the first few songs sounded great.

Is it the recording?
Is it the pressing process?
Is it my set up? (but not all my records to do this)

thx

Of course the slow groove speed at the end of an LP doesn't help, but in my experience the accumulation of dust on the stylus (as suggested by Mapman) is the culprit. It doesn't take much.
YES after playing one of the records over again and keeping the stylus nice and clean, the record sounded stable (better).
