Led Zeppelin Stairway to heaven sounds distorted at 5:36

The sonic quality of the track is sensational reduced at 5:36. It sounds like a digital distortion. Is it my playback system or is the original material compromised?

Hey @Dagavie

You should fill out the contact form, and someone from Spotify will be happy to help you within 24 hrs. Don't forget to check your junk mail folder for responses as they may end up there.

In there you'll find 'I want to report a broken song or wrong song information'. 🙂

Same thing! In fact im here because it was googles number 1 result when you search stairway to heaven recording distortion. Is it a spotify problem or is that the actual recording?

I have the digitally remastered cd from times before Spotify and it’s distorted there so the problem is surely the source
