Bill Evans "When I fall In Love" Portrait Riverside Stereo reissue of "Portrait"

Does anyone else notice the 'continuous tone' in the background that runs through the entire length of this song?  It sounds like a Dolby 'A' test tone to me.  It drive me nuts!  I haven't heard anyone else mention it.  So now I am wondering, are there any versions of this LP that do not have the annoying 'tone' on this track, or is this something that all versions have?  I was considering trying out the half track master tape copy, but am not interested if it is the same as the LP.

Thanks

Norman

Thanks Alan, good to know.  I realize my copy is a reissue, but I am stunned that this got past someone.  It's impossible not to notice it.

If the Japanese pressing I ordered has the tone on it, I will get a copy of the CD.

Thanks again.

I will check my CD version tonight. I own the original pressing, not sure if I  have the re-issue CD?

jafant,

That would be awesome if you could check the original.  Looking forward to hearing from you.

I did play my original CD, no tone detected.

If I own the re-issue/re-master, I will check that CD as well.

Jafant,

would you you please give me your opinion of the sound quality of the CD version?  I borrowed a second reissue from a friend and it has the same test tones as mine. It's funny, my audio buddy never noticed it. He's pretty annoyed now after I pointed it out. Maybe the CD version is the easiest way to go? It will be another week or so before my Japanese pressing arrives.
