The Yank Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I recently got the 45 in what looks like mint - condition. But... when I played it , it was on the noisy side. Are they all like this or did I get a defective copy ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I have an issue which someone gave me years ago it looks like it has been dragged along a road for miles by tanks and Jcb's but it plays with only a couple of crackles on the intro. So it might be your copy. Would be interesting what others say 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mark Bicknell Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Had an issue for years both looks and sounds fabulous so suspect you have a bad copy. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tlscapital Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Have my demo and have had stockers in various conditions all playing without major issues from memory. A bit of a Lo-Fi mastering job demanding to 'push-up' the volume to squeeze out some juice from it. Bringing the orchestral mayhem to saturation some. Especially during the horns and strings 'charge'. Bizarre delight Unless your copy is one of those that 'looks supreficially' clean but has suffered one of those dreaded groove 'polish' to eliminate surface damage visualy as sonically. That will eliminate most surface 'snap, crackle & pop'. But also make the playback sound thiner with a constant hissing background 'floor noise'. Could it be that ?

The Yank Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 I don't know what's going on with the 45- it's a cut out- there is no snap, crackle or pop but it does have some a little more hiss than there should be. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Here's a mp3 I did earlier this year of a spare stocker I had in VG condition (with crackles more audible on the 'now I'm in trouble' side.
