this is exactly it, meddling with the right channel - although i'm sure there was a little coming through on the left also. I remember it was most distracting on the disc with edamame on it - that track being particularly spoilt. It's quite disappointing really.

Seems like I have to check my copy well, before playing it out next week.

I'll check my copy but I think it's fine. Are you sure it's not your needles?

fck, just checked my copy, and have new needles (2 week old), and it surely have a loud hiss in the right channel. The worst is C and D (record 2) for me, but can also be heard on record 1. Should have just bought the best tracks from the album on Beatport then, instead of the complete vinyl....

I think the record pressing plants should make replacements and the distributors should replace those faulty records free of charge. That is such bullshit paying full-price for your copy and then hearing someone 500 miles who payed the same price and theres sounds mint.

I was going to buy it but I guess i'll have to sleep on this one because theres no way i'm going to pay for a full length album and have a hiss all over my right channel. Too bad cause I was really looking forward to this one.
