New Ryan Adams album strangeness?

The MP3 download that comes with the new Ryan Adams LP (Cardinology) has leadin/out groove and surface noise effects.

Maybe I don't get out enough or something, but this strikes me as pretty strange. There must be a story behind it. Does anybody know?

It's just Ryan being his usual douche bag self.

It COULD be a needle drop. But normal people clip off leadins and leadouts when they separate the tracks. There is one track where there are a couple of faint ticks. And a bit of surface noise on another. A little too perfect to be sloppiness. Too subtle to be a canned effect. There's got to be a point to it. Although maybe it's only on Adams' head.

I still think it's an official needledrop. I have a couple of digital copies that came with LPs that are like that. I dont' really care either way tho.

The MP3 sounds fine, so indeed, it doesn't matter. Of course, that also means, why go to the extra trouble?

It's just the journalist in me. I want to know. What WERE they thinking?
