maintreqd Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Having purchased several copies of this LP only to find out the pressing was apparently just done this way, I gave up trying to find a copy where the intro to Big Casino isn't slightly clipped (it seems to start about a half second into the song, so that fast single-guitar octave intro seems out of time with the rest of the band coming in). I'm curious if anyone has ever found a copy that doesn't have this issue? And also, I'm noticing their website has an "exclusive blue reissue" of Chase This Light--what are the chances they maybe cut it from a revised master? I realize this probably sounds OCD/neurotic, but it drives me nuts. Throws the whole intro timing off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I just thought the needle jumped in every time I played it. Now that you mention it, yeah, it's cut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I haven't heard the reissue but I'm guessing it's cut from the same plates, meaning it will still have the error in the intro. Drives me nuts too. maintreqd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drives me nuts too. Glad to know I'm not the only one. I see no good reason for it, either (it's not like the record is extra long or anything). Just laziness. A real bummer.

chils123 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 This and the clipped intro on the first song of the +44 record drive me nuts, but I'm pretty sure all copies have this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'm not sure, but didn't the first press of this album have two pressings? A US press and an EU press? Maybe the EU press is ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album starts in the middle of a note on CD/MP3 as well. The reason it sounds clipped is because the grooves go to the outer edge so when you drop the needle, the track starts immediately.
