Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts 1-7

3:28-3:31 - Guitar strings smack against the body a few times
3:55-4:25 - Guitar is mixed just a little too loud and distorts on the second or third note of each riff. It's in a different place every time which makes me think it's not intentional, it does sound like a digital "clip" where the audio goes outside the dynamic range. Best heard with headphones and lots of treble. Who knows, perhaps it keeps clipping throughout the whole song, but it gets buried in the mix when the drums come in at 4:25
7:34 - Second guitar solo is edited out for the Echoes and ACoGDS compilations. The hi-hats shift to the left slightly at the place of the edit, and the organ sound changes subtly. This edit is not noted in the Echoes liner notes, so it's not REALLY parts 1-7. More like parts 1-3.5 and parts 4-7.
7:36 - All versions, an edit after the first drumbeat, causing the cymbals to shift audiably from left to right.
7:40 - Slight drop-out before the laughter
8:44 - Left ear, one of the guitars buzzes badly
15:05 - Left ear, rhythm guitar flubs a note
