Somebody at work gave me a promo copy of the Boxholder reissue of Joe McPhee's Sackville date, Visitation. Nice session. I'm really enjoying it.

My question is about track #3 ("Home at Last"). Has anyone else noticed a pitch error on this track? I don't know how they transfered this material. From the master reels? Perhap from disk? Either way, the pitch wavers back and forth at about the rate of a second hand on a stop watch.

At first I thought this effect was the result of some tricky playing on the part of McPhee and Smith. ("How do they do that," I remember asking myself.) Later, as the final cymbal crash that ends the piece wavered in this same way, I realized that it was an issue with the transfer and not the musicians themselves.

Anyone else notice this? Is it on the original LP as well?
