If you have an audio editor that has a click removal tool, that's a better route than deleting. The "glitch" is a pop/click that occurs exactly on the first vocal (on the word "who"). A click remover should take out the click without deleting the music.]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2021 14:20:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7820&PID=59775&title=collecting-1982-on-compilations#59775 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7820&PID=59773&title=collecting-1982-on-compilations#59773 Author: Bounder's Bay

Ron, can you possibly specify which 198 samples of the
glitched 45 version of "Up Where We Belong" were deleted to
eliminate it from the discs that this was done for? (I know
it's an obvious glitch to pinpoint and excise oneself, but if
one wanted to precisely duplicate their chosen edit points?)
Thanks!]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2021 12:49:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7820&PID=59773&title=collecting-1982-on-compilations#59773 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7820&PID=59592&title=collecting-1982-on-compilations#59592 Author: AdvprosD

This is another in a series of glitches I never heard until reading about them here.

I just pulled my Billboard 1982 disc off the shelf, totally expecting to have a hard time hearing the problem area. But, like a slap in the chops, I heard it the first time!

I haven't gotten into spectral analysis yet, but I'm sure I will discover more and more reasons why pop music had such a long list of problems that didn't get fixed before
being released. I can only assume that getting songs out the door and on the charts took priority to audio perfecting techniques.

Thanks to everyone here who devote so much time and energy to all the little things about recording.

O/T at this point, but I discovered recently that I am no longer able to hear 10khz or above. Thanks TM Century for the audio test tones on the old Hitdiscs!]]> Wed, 24 Nov 2021 21:13:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7820&PID=59592&title=collecting-1982-on-compilations#59592 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7820&PID=39916&title=collecting-1982-on-compilations#39916 Author: sriv94

Re: Juice Newton/ The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known). First pressings had a
different mix on the Juice LP. I think early 45 pressings might have had the
LP first mix. It can be identified by more steel guitar audible in the mix and a
few other minor touches. On LP look for F4 or lower deadwax. F6-F7 is
where the later common mix began being substituted. ]]> Wed, 11 Dec 2013 09:03:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7820&PID=39875&title=collecting-1982-on-compilations#39875 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7820&PID=39873&title=collecting-1982-on-compilations#39873 Author: crapfromthepast

• Rhino's 2-CD Video Soul (1995)
• Varese's Barry Scott's Lost 45s Of The '70s And '80s Vol. 2

Unless I counted wrong, that's 71 compilations!

I can make a few generalizations:

• Overall, I prefer the Rhino compilations from about 1992-1996. Bill Inglot tended to do fresh analog transfers from the very lowest-generation source tapes. Buy any Rhino collections released in 1996 or earlier, and you won't be disappointed.
• The Warner Special Products discs are good overall, but some use source tapes that are higher-generation than the Rhino discs. These include the Razor & Tie and JCI discs, too.
• The Time-Life discs released around 1994 or later tend to use the same analog transfers as from existing CDs, or use digital clones of existing CDs. In many cases, that's good news, because a lot of those late '80s/early '90s single-artist CDs sound very good. A small number use additional compression. In general, try to find Time-Life discs mastered by Dennis Drake and you'll be very, very pleased - I've seen his name on discs released between 1995 and 2001.
• EMI's Living In Oblivion series isn't perfect, but it's definitely worth owning.
• The Madacy discs in the Rock On series released in 1996 and 1998 are excellent. They're almost entirely digital clones of existing CDs. Later Madacy discs, including the Vol. 2 for some years, are pretty bad.

That's about all I have for 1982.
