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


I've been listening to Since I've Been Loving You but maybe it was lost in the transfer to CD because I remember hearing it in my youth (better ears?) on LP.

Do you hear it on your system and if so, does one media convey it better than another?

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.

Vince Guaraldi

l have known of this artist for 55 years…. Frightening thinking that.  I have had the original soundtrack from the film “A Boy Named Charlie Brown” since l was a boy. He wrote this spin off “special” instrumental music in 1970. I noticed an old re-recording by his Jazz “Trio” playing Charlie Brown material was issued on a 2025 Record Store Day LP.
 

You could say he started playing for peanuts but garnered a nice little earner composing for the long running TV cartoon series.

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.
