Radiohead new 'cd'. Is it just me or has anyone else heard the faults, I checked the cover, and shock it isn't a cd.

No probs with mine. Is you're copy-protected? I managed to rip mine to MD so either it isn't CPd or the CP doesn't work on my laptop drive :)

Yes it is copy protected, I've managed to make a backup using nero, the faults are the same on the backup so it must be a recording fault.

The faults are the same as when you copy a cd to fast (like a 'sp' sound every now and again. I tried it on my daughters mini stereo it was not as bad.

I'll stick an ear out for it ;) !
 
Is it throughout or just on certain tracks? My copy should finaly be turning up MOnday MOrning, will keep an ear out......
 
I ran a burn off the special "map" edition on Friday - not tried to listen to it, but any is better than none for Glasters (I'm NOT taking the original!). I'll just have to go with it and see if it works - if not, we can have fun and games with the CDR and a camp fire....
 
If we're talking about the distortion on the 3rd(?) track then I think it's an intentional part of the track, part of the whole grunge thing.

Other tracks have similar wierdnesses. There's a 10th second backward snip that gets played every now and then on the 4th track, but again it hits the rhythm of the song. The 6th track has some wierd clicking noise on the left channel, but again it 'fits'. And then there's the strange distorted noise start of track 8 -- again it's part of the rhythm.

(maybe if we recorded each individual 'wierd' bit we'd come up with a secret hidden track -- or maybe there'd be so many wierd bits maybe we'd come up with Hail to the Thief :) )

I heard nothing that was consistently bizarre through the CD, and it actually sounded pretty well recorded to me :) I actually thought it's a pretty good album!

Tried the cd on my brothers hifi, i could hear the faults but my brother couldn't. So maybe its just me.

Exactly where are these faults? And what do they sound like? By my ears this is one of the best CD's this year! Sure there's plenty wierdness, but nothing I can hear that shouldn't be.

Tell me the secret!

The cd is faulty, I lent my friends cd and it is fine. So i'll send the cd back to 101cd and get it replaced.

You haven't ordered it from 101cd have you MO. Mine took 2weeks to come.
I'll get future cd's from cd-wow.

The faults on the cd were on most songs. I would say if you had a faulty cd you would here them

GAZZ
 
HAHA! I ordered mine from cd-wow! I've used both wow and 101 (aMOngst others) with no problem in the past. I phoned wow earlier and she knew the date of my order alMOst as soon as I picked up the phone

Me "hello I've ordered a cd off you and recieved a dispath email but it's still not arived

Wow "Ok, i'm right in saying this was on the 18th with dispatch on the 20th?"

Which indeed it was. Apparently they'vre had a few complaints for that date and are investigating. Would be nice to recieve a voucher or something. free cd? :D
 
I've just noticed Mo you can't order on the HK cdwow site and pay in £'s anymore shame really as cd's were only costing £7.50.
 
wasn't the P+P a bit on the expensive side doing it that way?

By the way, I ordered a copy of it for someone else a few days after my order. Theres turned up within 2 days! I'm still waiting!
 
When i ordered thet way i did not pay p&p. Mind you makes no difference now.

Has your copy of Radiohead arrived yet?
