RVG Inner Urge drop-out

[Cali]

Has anyone else noticed a drop-out around the 4:35 mark on EL BARIO during Joe's solo on the RVG? Is this also on the older CD version?

[Sundog]

No drop out on my old version (CDP 7 84189 2). There is a suddle change in the attack of McCoy's comping at the point you mention, but no drop out. ???

[Sundog]

huhhm.... "subtle" change

I have the CD with this fault and it is the 1989 McMaster (CDP 7 84189 2, non RVG) copy. I'm no audiophile and certainly no expert on sound engineering but I would say it's the same sort of fault as in the Dolphy 5 Spot disc where the sound 'drops out'.

Can the RVGs clear up this sort of distortion or fault?

4:37. It's more like a skip. Is this the result of some kind of copy protection scheme? I'm playing it on my computer.

This is the RVG edition, 7243 5 92422 2 4, picked it up from the PO this morning.

Claude knows more

listening to the ancient McMaster and I have yet to spot the problem. Probably need an ear examination... This is towards the end of Henderson's solo right? Can someone post an mp3 to illustrate?

I ripped a mp3 file and still hear a problem. The next step is to try it in my car.

4:37

That's the ticket not 4:35. I hear it.

I have the old McMaster.

I extracted it to the hard drive and opened it up with Cool Edit 2000.

No sign of anything funny at or around 4:35 or 4:37. My ears didn't hear any drop out either.

But that's the old one!

Hmmm...So if I get the RVG and there is a drop out, I'm part way there to providing a patch.

I hear it too on my US RVG. It's a very brief drop out. I didn't notice it before reading this post.

BTW, the US RVG is not copyprotected. It only has the new FBI warning thast some labels have adopted. I tried it my PC's DVD drive which usually doesn't allow copying protected CDs and it worked without a problem.

I played the same track from the Joe Henderson "Blue Note Years" 4CD box (from 1993).

The drop out is there too, but it is less audible because the cymbals are not as trebly as on the RVG and the drop out is mainly noticable on high frequencies.

I was thinking it might have been a splice or something that was on the LP, but I just listened, and it's not.
