I'm no expert but distortion surely wouldn't be an artefact to appear *after* the fact of mastering and pressing, I would have thought? So you're more likely to be looking at a poor pressing.
Perhaps Dan Bean would be a good person to chip in about this. Especially as you two share a similar taste in music...

The overall quality of the a-side is quite bad, actually. The other sides of this double album sound so much better. Could it be that the previous owner listened a lot to the a side and didn't bother about the other cuts, or is this distorted sound on the A-side a matter of recording quality (so it would be on all the pressings, at least of this run). Anyone got an idea? Cheers, Maarten - http://www.morthenkiang.com/
