Theme For Young Lovers - Question

[JimN]

I always understood, the glitch with the repeating note at the start first appeared on the 1991 6 CD box "The Early Years 1959-1966". I think the only 'mistake' of "Theme For Young Lovers" on the 1990 2 CD set "The Original Chart Hits 1960-1980" is that it has its stereo image reversed.

Correct.

For some reason, when constructing my database around 1991/2, I attributed the first appearance of the glitch to "The Original Chart Hits", but as you say, it made its debut on the "Early Years" box-set.

Database amended accordingly...

Certainly, the version on "The Original Chart Hits 1960-1980" is glitch-free. However, it does crop up on the 3CD set "The First 20 Years At The Top: 75 Originals 1959-1979" (EMI 8321672) (1995) and the 2CD set "The Platinum Collection" (EMI 3349382) (2005)

I believe that this happened as a result of overseas EMI outposts and licensee record companies simply using a copy of "The Early Years"1 as a general resource for re-mastering - in essence, as a reservoir of ready-mastered digital copies. The same has happened with other seminal releases. Even the Fremus releases "Atlantis" and "Dakota" have been used as physical sources for Shads and related material.
