Tom Waits - Japan Mini LP CDs (Elektra) 14 Years, 5 Months ago

Karma: 0

Hello,

did anyone buy the remastered japan mini lp cds by tom waits? I did, but it seems there are problems with "closing time" - on track 4, "old shoes", is a clicking noise at 0:29 and 0:45, on track 6, "martha", at 0:24 - is that a remastering problem or did I buy a defective copy?
It would be great if anyone could help me with this problem.
(I don't know if some of the other remasters have similar problems, I just listened to "closing time" and "the heart of saturday night" so far)

Hi,
I might be able to help.
I also own this album in the Mini LP edition and I've just listened to Old Shoes (4) and Martha (6).
There is indeed some audible clicks at 0:45 (Old Shoes) and at 0:24 (Martha). I think that these clicks are actually instrument sounds. My explanation is this: The remastering is very loud on the album, and it seems that the vocal and acoustic instruments have been "pushed" to the front to give the listener a kind
of feeling that you're in the studio with the musicians. The remastering
done on this edition simply reveals a lot more than the previous non-Mini LP edition did.
Hope i could help

Hudson Dark Side of the Moon Box (Pink Floyd) hudson-pf01 : 2008-01-01 A unique creation from Kerry Hudson design. Lavishly sculptured and finished, this felt lined wooden box stand holds all regular sized Pink Floyd Mini vinyl LP replica covers along with a selection of DVDs. The ultimate gift for the Pink Floyd fan who has everything. (The box is currently for sale from the sculptor. Contact details can be found here.) This was Kerry's second homage to an artist's releases on Mini LP, the first being Hudson Genesis Box Mach I. more images and details...	1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (Quintessence Editions) LIST-007 : 2006-02-07 This is a work in progress project and due to its size it will take some time to finish. Book cover images from different countries are welcome (or the ones included but with better image resolution). more images and details...

POCP Target Obi Series (Who (The)) POCP-9194 to POCP-9208 & 9212/3 : 1999-09-29 The first edition of the first series of mini LPs for the Who (target obis) came with inserts that were pre-punched. A binder and T-Shirt accompanied the release. It is not clear how these were obtained but it seems likely that the small yellow coupon on the obi would have been snipped off and the folder at least was awarded on surrendering the full set of coupons. more images and details...	Sing It Again Rod +5 (Stewart, Rod) UICY-93980 : 2009-02-25 Rod's first 'greatest hits' album with a fantastic, die-cut sleeve. more images and details...

Dedicato a Frazz (Semiramis) ARC-7003 : 2002-03-27 Rare Italian Progressive rock album from the Trident label. Images for this release show two different types of obis for original (sticker) and reprints (paper) of this release. more images and details...	First True Japanese Mini LP Rock Release (Emerson, Lake + Palmer) VICP-5442,3,4 : 1994-09-21 The first three Emerson Lake and Palmer albums (self titled, Tarkus and Pictures at an Exhibition) are arguably the first true Rock Mini LPs. They were released on 21st September 1994. These had been preceded by a much earlier Lotus and a US release of some Rolling Stones albums repackaged for Japan a few short months before these. Neither of these earlier releases was true to the original vinyl although the Stones came close. The earliest true Minis were two series of MCA Jazz releases from March 1994 (MVCZ-26 to MVCZ-45) including this example: Death and The Flower. more images and details...
