Ian Brown (Unfinished Monkey Business) - recording quality?

[FunkyT]

I bought this when it first came out in 1997 and noticed the sound quality was crap. I was in HMV yesterday and it was on special so I bought another copy - exactly the same!

Is it just me being fussy? Dodgy batch? Anyone else know what I'm going on about?

Thanks lads - now I've got peace of mind

It looks like I'll be eBaying the 2nd copy I've got which I bought to replace the "dodgy" one
