Is my tracking too light/heavy or is the LP damaged.
I'm sorry, but how do you expect anybody here to answer that? All anybody here can do is offer up posssible reasons.
In addition to the possibilities you listed it is possible that:
1. your cartridge mistracks because it simply can't handle those passages
2. the album was poorly recorded and the distortion is inherent in the disc
3. some other part of your system is overloading. How loud are you playing it?
To answer your original question; you will have to make adjustments and see if it clears up, that is unless the mistracking has damaged the record in which case it will never go away.
