White Substance on Aja 30th Anniversary

Thanks for the replies. Someone elsewhere had the glue reply so maybe that is it. I am afraid of it gumming up my stylus.

What would I search for? Music Matters?

Have a fun eve,
Robert

This is most distressing.

Some folks are apparently having trouble with the link to the pic so here it is with the markup tags:

This is also discussed with another pic here:

Also in an older thread on this forum. Nobody has admitted to being able to remove it. Interesting Acoustic Sounds still has some. I may try to find my receipt and see if I bought it from them. Not only is Aja one of my all time favorite albums, this version is a collectable. I suppose I need to open the remaining sealed collectables I have to inspect them.

Bummed!

Thanks for all the response, I appreciate it,
Robert

"How does it sound? Any comparisons to an original pressing?"

No, As I said I have been afraid to play it. Don't want to gum up my stylus.

"Is it a cloak and dagger digital product?"

Not sure. Could have had digital delay in the cutting.

"Would love to hear some good news but every re release I have heard on vinyl has been a huge disappointment."

This seems to a popular position these days. I disagree. Some are quite good. The Clapton and Clapton Unplugged are very nice as is Hoffman's Rumours. I only have the 33 Rumours so far but he 45 x 2 should be here in a few days. The Friday's Music version of Close To The Edge is pretty good also.

"I also have seen this on several new records. It did line up with the inner sleeve glue joints, so I am sure it is from the sleeve. It has had no noticeable sound effect on my albums."

Thanks. I still my play it on my old Project and see if the stylus gets residue.

Hey Paanders, somebody on another board had the same thought. Amusing none the less:-)

Thanks Folks,
Robert
