I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You???

We are listening for the "squeak" in the kick drum pedal assembly.

Has everything to do with music.  If it's there, I want to hear it.

So, does anyone hear it here???  Maybe I’m not listening for the right "thing", but I seem to recall it being a fairly distinct squeak from the early records.

Maybe it was a European pressing?  My friend had quite a collection and introduced me to all kinds of Rock back in the day.

biwire, that’s what I’m wondering.

Certainly seems like it should be there if it’s there.  My Heil nearfield.

I have the original CD and listened on the AKG headphones and still don’t hear it.  

I also had my wife’s healthcare worker listen on YT to Remastered version, nearfield, and she couldn’t hear it as a squeak.  She is really big into jazz.  We certainly heard other low level noises.

Maybe people are describing it differently, or maybe this is like the Emperor’s New Clothes...

Maybe it was one of the other tracks I remember hearing it on as a kid.  There are several that are of a similar "groove."  Maybe I’m going to have to listen to the early catalog on headphones to see if I can pick it out.

The idea is that a second set of ears didn’t hear it either and she is a bit more than half my age (40s maybe).  But she is here several times a week and when we listened to the YT version, we both heard the very low noises toward the beginning and these are barely audible.  She pointed it out and asked if that’s to what I was referring.  Again, we were listening for a distinctive "squeak" like you would hear from a spring mechanism that needs to be lubricated.

She is a big jazz and music fan (I always hear her car stereo playing when she pulls up) and loves the sound of my stereo.  Her favorite in my collection is Vince Guaraldi doing the Peanuts themes.  When I talk of classic rock bands, she knows who I’m talking about and is familiar with the songs.

She lives in a studio with her daughter and could never afford even a modest system let alone have a place to set it up. Her occupation has nothing to do with it.

I have this one.

BTW, I do believe that it was The Ocean that I remember the pedal squeak on.  And even now, I can still hear the pedal mechanism.
