It's available from Atomic Beat Records in L.A. (310) 556-1144. ------------------------------ From: "Glenn Sadin" Date: Fri, 09 Aug 96 11:54:40 PST Subject: CD squeals Lisa sez... Okay, here's something that maybe some can answer. Howcome, on some CD's where they've transfered from old analog tapes, there is also a "screeching" background noise? I have A barraudas CD that contains their first single, which I also have. The Cd version has kind of a "screech" or "squeal" behing it, that is not eveident on the 45. It happens on al the CD decks I've played it on, and only on the two songs from the 45/ Is it a transfer problem or something? I've never experienced this problem. RE: the Barracudas CD, I would guess that the master tape has the squeal, but it was not audible on the vinyl pressings because vinyl is more forgiving than CDs are.

When I talked with Philips, Unfortunately, the disc all the symptoms of the defective Philips CD. When I talked with Philips, they confirmed that this was the symptom.

Just so you know, this is yet another one of those "I'm going to be in place X during time N - what's to see and do?" mega-crossposts. I'm going to be in NYC from August 17-20 and am wondering if there is anything noteworthy going on musicwise. Also, can anyone recommend some interesting record stores and guitar shops that aren't outrageously expensive and doesn't duplicate what any good store in L.A. would have already, but would have enough "weird stuff" to make the visit interesting? In other words, I'd rather get my hands dirty pawing though stacks of obscure Turkish drone-surf sound effects records and rooting through boxes of unknown effects pedals than see $60 copies of the Stereolab/Tortoise 7" and $500 Clyde McCoy wah-wahs under glass. Many thanks in advance, Chris ObDrone: Found a copy of the Harmony Rockets CD for $4 and have been liking it way more than any of the Mercury Rev albums combined. ObSound-L: Any early word on how the Alesis Nanoverb stacks up against other digital 'verbs? I'm only really interested in the reverb and don't need any delay, et. al. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Barrus - No-Fi, IndieWeb, etc. | Who would argue with the "Eyes http://www.pacificnet.net/~xibalba/ | of Frozen Shrimp" on your side? ------------------------------ End of Bomp V96 #56 ******************* You have been reading Bomp-digest.
