Trouble tracking new Norah Jones LP

Anyone having problems tracking the new Norah Jones LP, Live From Austin City Limits? Picked it up at Waterloo in Austin and can't track it with Linn Majik set-up. Indicate what TT, cartridge, arm you running and if you are seeing the problem. The BASS on cut 1 side 1 and on the LP in general is HUGE! Maybe a bad copy of the LP? Thanks

Now you've thrown down the gauntlet!

I haven't bought that LP, but now I think I will. I'll be very surprised if my KAB fluid-damped Technics SL1210M5G with AT150MLX cartridge *can't* track it.

The little sucker jumps right out of the grooves on the some of the bass notes; sometimes a good 3/16" of the radius. I do not use damping fluid on the Schroeder. Tracking at 1.8 gms.
Try it with damping fluid. Tracking hideously warped records and outsized groove modulations are what fluid damping helps do best.
