Query: Worse than amateur

I ordered this from an Amazon[.com] competitor, and was horrified by the distortion in the recording, at moderate volume levels. A replacement didn't sound any better, so it may be the recording. The first two tracks were awful. I didn't listen beyond them. A lot of amaterur recordings would sound better than this from: Universal International, a UNIVERSAL MUSIC COMPANY, marketed by Victor Entertainment, Inc.
