New Vinyl - "scratchy"?


I got the 2LP, 180g vinyl set of Jeff Beck, Live at Ronnie Scott's. Music is (of course) awesome, and the sound is amazing. EXCEPT, on quiet songs, there is a persistent scratchy sound. This was on the first play, and I've played other vinyl before and after that doesn't exhibit the same characteristic.

What would be your first suggestion as to possible cause - bad copy, bad pressing in general, something in my system that needs to be looked at, other?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Evaluate the "scratchiness" after playing the record 5 or 6 times. I found that new records sometimes get quieter after awhile. Is this the ONLY record that sounds "wrong"? Is this a new cartridge installation?
