Clik-sound in Strong Arm of the Law (HMT)

[Sandman]

Posted this in the "Who Mixed..." thread, but I put it here aswell in case no one notices it.

Got my copy of Heavy Metal Thunder today.
Got somewhat scared though when I noticed a clik-sound about 2.38 into Strong Arm of the Law. Start listening at 2.36 or something and let it continue to 38 or 39
Does anyone else notice this, or is it just my copy?

 

[Twisted Tony]

Nope! I just listened to the whole CD and I didn't hear anything.

 

[Sandman]

Goddamn it!
Just got my copy changed to a new one, and the clik's still there.

You sure it's not there on your copy?

It's just a short clik, almost not noticeable. Didn't hear it until I listened to the album a second time.

 

[heavycelli]

Yes, indeed I hear a click too, but I can hardly hear it because I do not use headphones. For me it doesn't spoil my pleasure for the number "Strong Arm of the Law". What concerns/bothers me more are those sometimes weird noises on HMT, the same noises as on Killing Ground Cd. (Hell freezes over etc..) It sounds as if sand/dust is laying on a vynil-album. (No..my stereotunerset is O.K.) But for the rest Saxon has released fantastic albums throughout the years, so I can forgive them. Saxon forever O.K.

 

[Sandman]

Thank god.
Then it's not just my copy.
Didn't feel like going back to the store once again.

Anyone else who have noticed this, please post it here so we can make sure that the clik is on all of them.

 

[Sandman]

One more thing, heavycelli, where are you from?
Might have something to do with different pressings in different parts of the world.

Good evening Sandman,

I'm from the Netherlands

the number of the cd is SPV 085-74482 DCD-E Steamhammer, made in germany Hannover

 

[Sandman]

Yeah, that's the same number as mine.

 

[Twisted Tony]

My CD's # is also SPV085-74482DCD-E. But I listened to "Strong Arm" again and I didn't hear anything.

 

[Sandman]

Hmmm... strange.
Are you dead sure?

 

[Paxoman]

I've noticed that if you play the version of Strong arm of the law on HMT backwards, it sounds like Denim & Leather!

 

[heavycelli]

O.K. Paxoman that is the kind of humor I like, Haha!

 

[Saracen84]

There IS definately a click there at 2:38, no question about it. (SPV 085-74482 DCD-E). I listened to the same track on the 'Killing Ground Bonus Disc', and the click is NOT there on that version. Must be an error on the original disc pressing plate thingy-doo at the manufacturing plant for HM-Thunder. I've seen this before , and it might very well not exist on another pressing from another country, or if a remaster should ever come out, etc. I ripped the track from CD and took a look at the waveform in Cool Edit, and it affects both channels from the range of approx 2:38:441 to 2:38.451 (about 0.01 seconds in length).

 

[Paxoman]

You need to get out more Saracen!

 

[Saracen84]

HA ! Just trying to help a fellow Saxon fan maintain his sanity, after all, with Saxon, only perfection is what we're used to !

 

[Crusader]

Yeah, i've noticed that click in strong arm, but it's no the only!
In Wheels of Steel about 2:29 there is a ''blup'' sound!

 

[Sammi951]

Alright boys, get a grip now :Shedevil:

 

[heavycelli]

I just love freedom of speech!

It is a good thing to say what you have to say

My life-slogan is: I say what I think, and I do what I say!

I hope everybody understands what I mean...
