yeh, there seems to be a few pieces of what id consider shoddy
editing - i think that if something is going to be edited, it should
not be obvious - ie: not audible or VERY noticable - on the first track,
CD1 of the GH album, just as the "main" part of the tune starts
(cant give times - not got the CD handy - its easly on though,
around 15-20 sec in?) theres a great big click where they didnt smooth
out their edit properly.. tsk tsk..

>in the background drum track...

oo.. didnt spot this one - (not like me... hehe).. but FYI, theres another
"bug", although i believe this is on the original master, cuz this is
present on the UK CD Singles, the UK CD Album, and the Japanese Album -
Staring at the sun.. just where he sings: "I left it in the.. duty free.."
listen closely when he sings "I" .. if you sample it and zoom in,
you'll notice a gap - you can hear it (i thought it sounded a bit rough when
i first heard it.. tsk..) - the error is something like a few thousandths of
a second long - but its enough to hear it - ya have to be real careful when
doing audio editing, because bad editing makes clicks, or dropouts.. and
they sound awful.. really non-pro.. :)

aaaaaaanyway - i'll just get off this soap box.. *grunt* (hm.. long way down
off this here soap box.. ) hehehehe....

catcha!
