One LP suddenly sounds distorted (self.vinyl)

Heey all!

Since a couple of months 1 of my LPs has suddenly started sounding really distorted. I checked everything afterwards, changed the needle, recalibrated, checked speed and skate, but it didnt change anything. The weird thing is that most (>95%) of the other LPs sounds perfectly normal and good. The ones that dont are second hand and might have been off since the start, I am not sure.

I am a bit at a loss, and as it is one of my favorite LPs I would love to get some thougts of you guys.

Could it be a cleaning issue, and if so any tips on cleaning? Or do you think it might be wiring or sound related? Just curious if you have any ideas. Many thanks in advance!

The same song played via YoutubeMusic plays normal, so I expect it is not the speakers. The music and album is fairly new (2023) so I expect they have relatively the same quality. But thanks for the input.
