There's certainly something odd sounding at this point in the track.  Bummer.  :-( Jules -------------- I like beer and I like cheese Back to top

And unless I'm mistaken I heard a click just before Maddy Prior starts singing on Part 4. Well that's absolutely shocking. Though I would usually wait till I've heard it myself before rearking, that's very unproffessional. Does Mercury realize? Surely this means recalling the faulty product and re-pressing with the mistake rectified?! -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres.

Hope it's a bad pressing, but I think we will all have this fault if something went wrong to the export masters from Mike.

Hiawatha still sound bad .... iTunes - Incantations Deluxe Funny.... that's the Italian iTunes store with the Deluxe edition.

Pat Gleeson Group: Members Posts: 282 Joined: Nov. 2003 Posted: July 22 2011, 12:07 *** Spoilers below **** I was just about convinced that the Diana tracks were early mixes when lo and behold Stephen Hawking makes an appearance - added in the 2011 mix perhaps ? I see piano Improvisation is an early demo for what became Part 2 of the Platinum suite   The Northumbrian track has more an an Ommadawn vibe to it, I can't hear any quotes from other albums on it.

starfish Group: Members Posts: 93 Joined: June 2009 Posted: July 22 2011, 12:13 Quote (Highlander @ July 22 2011, 06:07) Mine has arrived - playing now. No plastic 'Deluxe' cover this time, just a sticker that you have to pull off to get into the discs! Mine also arrived in the post today. How easy is it to remove the sticker? It's just that I'm concerned about tearing the cardboard sleeve underneath. Back to top

It's just that I'm concerned about tearing the cardboard sleeve underneath. It's easy enough if it's done slowly. I'd remove it too - it's really unsightly. Back to top

Highlander Group: Members Posts: 68 Joined: June 2010 Posted: July 22 2011, 12:23 Yeah - I must admit that I was really enjoying listening to it, but that 'skip' or whatever it is does spoil it a bit. The remixes are really good too - I didn't think I'd like the piano one from the extract, but hearing it whole, it's great! Sleeve notes very good and DVD good. Would have been nice if they had been consistent and provided the plastic deluxe sleeve, but that's a minor niggle. If not for the 'skip', then I would have been delighted with this. Back to top
