My wife is currently killing that in her car. Every time I drive it she's half way through the album again.

The Knife -- Silent Shout

Joe Walsh -- The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get Anyone else get faint distortion/buzz in the right channel on the lead-in to "Rocky Mountain Way", or is it something in my rig? Hearing it over both speakers and headphones.

Heresy!

The Proclaimers -- Sunshine On Leith Vinyl.

Vangelis -- Blade Runner: Orchestral Adaptation Of Music Composed For The Motion Picture By Vangelis

So here's a vinyl noob question of note -- why are some records so much noisier than others? This morning I listened to a couple of mid-80s LPs that had clearly been knocked about a bit in their lives, but after cleaning were very quiet and generally pleasureable to hear. Then I put on a brand-new "special edition" 180g release that supposedly got the kid glove treatment in both production and pressing, yet it's like the needle's tracking over sandpaper. The surface noise is so high it's pretty much unlistenable.

Aztec Camera -- Knife UK Vinyl.

Nice.

Her burn rate was increasing steadily, too.
