Mastering Error on MIC Disc 3 ?

[Jason]

It's a relatively simple fix for those with Audacity software, but yeah, Capitol should have had better quality control involved.

Exactly. And for $145 retail I shouldn't have to "fix" this problem.

I thought Jack Rieley sang "That's why the child..." Sure don't sound like Carl to me...

Its all come full circle with capitol since the 1960s BBs LPs were such low production quality as well.

Probably is - I'm not aware of who all sung on that coda - sounded like Carl to me at the time.

Yeah I know we can fix it, but as rab2591 said, for the money we paid, there ought to be some control.

For the record I merged this thread with Bob's thread from today since they both deal with the same issue.

I hate to say it, but this isn't the first time. TSS has track indexing issues all throughout. Really wonky indexing. I never understood how something so simple can get through like that.

Thanks, I didn't see the other one until too late. I posted to Capitol's Facebook page and then I put a review on Amazon saying amazing box set, BUT DON'T buy it until they fix disk 3 (of course I said what the issue was). I will probably hear back from AMAZON before I do from Capitol.

And I've always thought it was Dennis

Here's an mp3 of the section from the 5.1 mix (the rear right channel in this case) if people want to study it a bit more closely:

I've been told that EMI has found it to be a manufacturing error by the pressing plant and will be offering replacement discs. No idea who you contact tho , or how soon corrected discs will be available.

I-tunes downloads don't have the problem , just the CD.

Thanks for the info. I'll wait until the issue is fixed, or that replacement discs are definitely being issued.

[leggo of my ego]

Well, this doesnt bother me too much. I shore will take a replacement disc if Capitol offers it.

(now wheres that reciept?)

Hi John,
Thank you for your patience on this matter.
I have now received an answer from our eCommerce team and also the label. I am pleased to confirm that there is to be a new pressing of 'Made In California' Disc 3, and as soon as this has been produced we will be able to send this on to you…
Kind regards,

Sooo...I wonder how they are going to give these out knowing that people received them from all kinds of different sources (i.e., Amazon, ImportCDs, etc, etc).

[rab2591]

Thanks John! Great news.

Good work John - thanks for this update.

So I wonder at what point complete sets with a fixed disc 3 start getting issued, or whether those of us who have yet to purchase MIC are better off buying a faulty set and requesting a replacement disc 3. Will be interesting to see how easy these replacement discs are to get hold of.

Thanks, John!

[Daniel]

Thanks John.
Where did you get your set from?
Is that relevant to Universal - do you think they will replace discs no matter where they were purchased from/through?

I emailed Universal and this is the reply I got:

"We can only replace this item if it was purchased from Universal Music directly. If you have purchased this from us, can you please confirm your order number and I will be happy to arrange this for you.
 
If this was purchased from another retailer, then you will need to contact them, as they should have their own route back to the supplier who in turn should have access to the new pressing.
 
I hope this helps, and if I can be of any further assistance, then please let me know and I will be happy to help.
 
Kind Regards,

So a completely different response from the one John got even though I believe we both bought from the same place ie Sainsburys!

Aye, Sainsburys. Note though that no disc has yet been forthcoming… but then neither has a retraction of the statement that one would be sent.  Time will tell…

This is not very encouraging.  There have been other disc exchange programs for defective individual discs.  It shouldn't be contingent on where the box was purchased.
