I have bought three copies of James Brown's Night Train (Sue Records W1-360) over the last year or so and all of them have been terrible quality.

 

Visibly they look great... but on two of them the sound is completely muffled, like JB is performing under a duvet. The third one seems to start off fine but after a few seconds you realise that it is playing at twice the speed.

 

Is this a common problem with this particular record? Or have I just been unlucky?

 

Cheers

Sounds too much of a coincidence, but I must have had a dozen of them and I can't remember any problems...

Thanks Pete. You haven't got one for sale at the moment have you?

Might have - I know I did have, can't remember if I sold or not, but it wasn't a top copy

Oh Ok... I'll keep looking. Thanks Pete

Is there a difference between the Sue and the Parlophone releases?

and the King copy ?
