Hi all

We recently bought from discogs, decent seller this https://www.discogs.com/master/98357-PKA-Powergen-Only-Your-Love
We noticed that it sounds awfully distorted in Temperature Rising and we were wondering if anyone else noticed this in their copy or is this a bad record we've bought?

I post the link from my google drive which has a 30 second sample of the track recorded with an ortofon concorde mk 2 stylus

temperature-rising.mp3

drive.google.com drive.google.com

Let me know i may need to get another copy

Thanks so much
Kitkat

Hi Brady we checked ours are A2 B2. Really good point we were expecting to see A1 B1 but I'm afraid not.

Jack G played his copy for me and it also sounded distorted so I guess there was some problem around mastering

Everywhere & nowhere baby, that's where I'm at...

Just checked mine & mine is distorted on Temperatures Rising

My copy is a blue label https://www.discogs.com/release/3677186-PKA-Powergen-Only-Your-Love

& also bizarrely A side etching is 12 PKA 12 (with the 2 scratched out) A2 with Andy 92 & & side B only has 12 PKA 1 B2

Hope this helps... also this is the copy of Temperature's Rising to get IMO :D


Also this


I know single-sided is both a waste of vinyl & cube space but it's cool :)

Thanks so much for all that information Shooms I really appreciate it. So sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you. It's good to know it's not just our copy that is distorted and thank you so much for the links of the copys to get. I'll keep and eye out for them and get one when i can :)
Thanks again for all your help
