My version of this on "When AM Was King" has a thump or flaw at
0:03. I've since found other versions that don't' (whew!), but I also
came across this version (Track 17):

Interesting in that it is a dry remix of the track. Wonder if anyone
knows any history here? Without remixing, can reverb be removed
from a track (I know it can be added).

David,
No, you can't remove reverb from a full mix. You either
need dry multi-tracks or an earlier dry mix-down.
But I played the sound sample on All-Music and to me it
sounds like the same mix as all the others, it isn't dry.

David, I have the U.K. 1967 Top Of The Pops Year By Year Collection volume, and the mix isn't dry on OTBJ. I compared it with the same song on the T-L Superhits 1967 CD, and found that on that disc, Bobbie's vocal has an equal amount of reverb in both channels.
However, on the TOTP CD, the reverb on her voice is more noticeable in the right channel. Overall, the amount is about the same between the two discs, but it does sound drier (although not entirely so) in the left channel on TOTP.

My Capitol Starline 45 does not have the glitch, and also
has the reverb.
