Do I have Intermittent cartridge skipping?


I am very puzzled? I bought one partcular album that does a hard skip on my record,but only with that recording.
Muddy Waters Folk Song.I thought I had a defective disk
so I took it back to my record shop for an exchange.
When I took it home for a spin on my turntable the exchanged record skipped at the exact same spot as the previous one.What are the odds of that happening?
What do you suppose the problem is.Could it be that I may have the volume set to loud.I turned down the stereo and have the same problem.I readjusted VTA,and that didn't help.
When the record dealer played the previous copy at her shop it played just fine with her entry level turntable.
I must be getting some feedback induced vibration running up the tonearm is all I can think.
But I only have this particular problem with just this particular disk and have no other problems with my other LP's including very dynamic classical issues.
My table is a VPI MK3 with Morch UP-4 Arm Red Dot and Grado Silver. Phono cartridge will be upgraded tommorrow with a Grado Reference,The Reference Phono Cartridge due at my door
tommorrow.Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Whats going on, musically speaking, at the point when the skipping starts. Sharp/loud sound perhaps? Whats your VTF v the manufacturer's recommendations?
