Hey man, I don't know why but I am getting tons of distortion on my All Things Must Pass LP. Really the only record I am getting any distortion on right now. Brand new cartridge with no issues on any other albums. It's an original pressing so could just be worn out, but if that's not the issue, got any recommendations? There are no visible scratches on the album.

It doesn't have to have visible scratches to be a bad LP. If the original owner had a Sears & Roebuck record player, the $1 needle (probably worse than a thumbtack), may have destroyed the inner grooves. This usually happens when I inherit someone's old uncle"s vinyl collection and almost all of the LPs are shot. You will notice immediately--they sound like crap. Throw them away--no amount of cleaning or chemicals can revive them.
