Heifetz' Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto Classic Rec

Hello!
I just recently purchased the Classic Records reissue of Hefetz performing the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. I was disappointed to hear that many of orchestral climaxes in the recording are distorted. I'm wondering whether this distortion is inherent to the recording, or whether my cartridge isn't tracking properly. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mika

I own two LP copies: a glorious original with a few ticks and pops, and a somewhat compressed '70's reissue. Both defninitely distort on orchestral climaxes. I've always assumed that it was inherent in the recording.

The sound of the violin itself is pristine, glorious.
