Coven - One Tin Soldier

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I was listening to Coven's "One Tin Soldier" (Warner Brothers hit version) on the "Super Hits of the '70s" CD and thought it might be a disc dub, though it's not reported that way in the database. Can any audiophile here listen on headphones and report back as to whether this is a disc dub? I just seemed to have that grungy/distorted sound of an overplayed record (in places), though no pops or clicks can be detected. So it seems to me this may be "cleaned vinyl" - unless the master tape just has this distorted sound.

	It does sound like a disc dub to my ears.
	I turn up the good and turn down the bad!

	Pat, maybe you can update the database to mention this is transferred from vinyl, as you usually do for cases like this.

	I still prefer the Original Caste 45 original on T-A.
