Total Recall Biasing voltages

Built the total recall, I'm getting some delay but it sounds funky like the first repeat is kinda cut off and the repeats are acting wonky.  like i only get one repeat unless I strum really hard with the feedback up  then i get infinite repeats straight into oscillation.

Spent some time trying to bias it but couldnt make much of a difference.  measured voltages but they all looked pretty good.

the only ones that were a bit off are....

IC2 pin7- is -5.8v instead of -4.7v
IC3 pin 1 is -8v instead of -6.41v
IC4 pins 5,6,7 are reading at -8.3v instead of -7.48v

anything suspicious about those numbers?

What's your PSU and regulator voltages?

Could just need re-biasing (what you described sounds like your gain trimmers are too low), see this thread for some biasing tips (the docs aren't quite right)
