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.
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.
I really like the CD in both original and reissue editions. The remaster/reissue offers a crisp, brighter sound overall. This is very common on re-issues, as the technology has changed, since the late 80's to early 90's. Not compresses at all to my ears.
