I recently purchased the Audio Fidelity release of Eric Clapton's Journeyman (AFZ 180). I am very impressed with the quality of sound compared to the original release. However, I couldn't help but notice what appears to be glitches (sounds like pops/ticks) on tracks 1-3 and 10. The clicking is most noticeable on track 3, Bad Love, around the 30 second mark and continues for about 10 additional seconds. It then does it again around 1:50, 3:11, and 4:19. Tracks 1 & 2 also have this issue throughout. As for track 10, the pops/ticks occur at the following times, 0:05, 4:10, 4:30, 5:20.
These glitches occur on both the SACD and CD portions of the disc. I checked against the original release and do not hear these glitches. I did a little research and have found a few others complaining about this issue in Amazon.com reviews for the AF release. Is this an issue with the pressing or something else? Can anyone else check their copy for these issues and report back?
