Collecting 1982 on compilations

I wonder if I have a later pressing that might have fixed the glitch. Just checked all the copies I have of the song. These have the glitch at 0:14 - Warner Special Products' 3-CD Secret Love (1987) Rhino's Billboard Top Hits 1982 (1992) Warner Special Products' 2-CD Night Songs (1994) Time-Life's Sounds Of The Eighties Vol. 5 1982 (1994) Time-Life's 2-CD Body Talk Vol. 4 Together Forever (1996) These do not have the glitch at 0:14 - Island's 2-CD Island Story (1987) Time-Life's 4-CD Great Love Songs Of The 70's And 80's Vol. 4 Endless Love (1991) Sandstone's Cosmopolitan Vol. 2 (1992) EMI PolyGram Virgin UK's 2-CD Now 1983 (1993) swaitek's 50-CD A List Disc 11 (1994) Time-Life's 2-CD Body Talk (1994) Cema's 2-CD Cool Rock (1995) Time-Life's Sounds Of The Eighties Vol. 31 Movie Hits Of The '80s (1996) Joe Cocker's Best Of Joe Cocker's Ultimate Collection My issue of the Time-Life 1982 disc has a matrix number of DIDP-084469 1. It's an original issue; I think I was a subscriber back then. Does your 1982 have a RE-1 or something like that in the matrix number?

This is another in a series of glitches I never heard until reading about them here.

I just pulled my Billboard 1982 disc off the shelf, totally expecting to have a hard time hearing the problem area. But, like a slap in the chops, I heard it the first time!

I haven't gotten into spectral analysis yet, but I'm sure I will discover more and more reasons why pop music had such a long list of problems that didn't get fixed before
being released. I can only assume that getting songs out the door and on the charts took priority to audio perfecting techniques.

Thanks to everyone here who devote so much time and energy to all the little things about recording.

O/T at this point, but I discovered recently that I am no longer able to hear 10khz or above. Thanks TM Century for the audio test tones on the old Hitdiscs!

If you have an audio editor that has a click removal tool, that's a better route than deleting. The "glitch" is a pop/click that occurs exactly on the first vocal (on the word "who"). A click remover should take out the click without deleting the music.
