Mystic Slipperman Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hey gang--Something about which I've always been curious: My first copy of Hemispheres was on cassette. I completely went nuts over the music on it and bought it on CD after a couple of weeks. I noticed immediately that between the first and second "movements" of CygX1Book2 there was a gap on the CD...something like 4 seconds. That gap was not on the cassette, nor was it on the vinyl (as I was to discover later). Does anyone have any idea why this 4 second gap was "inserted"?

Dances with the Moon Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I wonder if it's because the cds are re-mastered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Probably because its seperated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Slipperman Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 I wonder if it was originally separated on the master tapes, but for the original LP release (and cassette) the gap was taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Part of the missing 18 minutes of the Watergate tapes were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushbass Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 QUOTE (Dances with the Moon @ Sep 21 2008, 02:04 PM) I wonder if it's because the cds are re-mastered. I have an original first pressing / release of Hemispheres on CD, and the 3 second gap is there... looks like the gap was present on the initial transfer to CD... must have been added at that time (mastered to CD)... Here is a snapshot of the section from the cassette: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s282/rushbass/Miscellanious/HemispheresCasette.jpg Here is a snapshot of the same selection from the CD: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s282/rushbass/Miscellanious/HemispheresCD.jpg From "chord to chord" the CD selection is @ 2 seconds longer than the cassette... Cassette is 6.649 seconds in length (highlighted section) and the CD is 8.766 seconds in length (highlighted section). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
