Very disappointed with the pressing

I was really looking forward to this new pressing with 180 gram & 45 rpm. I actually have a copy of my dad's original mono LP from RCA Victor LM-1992.
As soon as I received the new copy I put it on the turntable & enjoyed tremendously the clean sounding reproduction, & of course Heifetz's beautiful playing. Unfortunately, the song faded out early on both First & Second movement before the ending of side 1 & side 3. I totally understands because of the 45 rpm each side can not store the same amount of data as compared to a 33-1/3 version, but to fading out without any warning is just not acceptable. Especially, with the amount that they are charging.
BTW, I have all 7 copies of the Steely Dan 200g, 45 rpm UHQR LP & none of them have the same problem.
Again, very disappointed with this purchase.
