About Pet Shop Boys

#1 Post by slurmjunkie »

Hello,

just received a copy of "About" which I ordered from the official site. Absolutely great mix of in-depth interviews, rare demo excerpts and snippets of what they were up to in 1996.
However, I'm quite irritated that throughout the whole disc you can hear a crackle every now and then :( - as if it was a vinyl record instead of a radio broadcast. Could anyone who also owns it tell me if it's the same on their copy, too?

Mine's fine as far as I can remember - but that was from The Savoy!

Both my copies has the crackle noises and I agree that it's quite irritating.

Thanks for your info,

well, at least I know that returning them for new copies would be useless.

The high noise on the About CD is most probably from the DAT recording in the Radio 1's studio. These kind of digital noise is usual on DAT tapes, unfortunately they didn't take time to clean the final recording before they've burnt onto master copy.

It doesn't bother me though...
