What would cause distortion in one speaker while playing a record but not when using the radio?

I recently bought an old Zenith stereo system, and when I play a record with it I get distortion on the right speaker but when I use the radio everything sounds crystal clear in both speakers. So I was wondering what might cause this? Thanks.

    The problem is with the turntable cartridge/stylus assembly or the record.
