Peter - Nothing noticable on my CD but then again I bought it years ago. If yours is new and from a new batch I'd take it back to where you bought it and ask to listen to another copy. If it's the same I'd try buying it somewhere else if they will let you return it. But a lot of places that sell CD's will only let you exchange it for the same CD. Perhaps they will let you trade it for something else from their stock. Good luck.
