  • This box means a lot to me and I want to make sure that potential buyers know exactly what they are getting. I don't want any disappointment because I would rather keep it than have a disappointed customer. First, please check out the unique overview of this particular set.
  • The "soft poof" or subtle air-like sound observed in the dead wax (run-out groove) of the 1986 Japanese Beatles Red Vinyl Mono Box (EAS-70130-8) is likely a byproduct of the mastering or pressing process for this specific limited series. This is between songs but  not during the performance. While the "Everclean" translucent red vinyl is highly regarded for being very quiet, Japanese pressings from this era were known to have a distinct sound profile, often emphasizing high frequencies and occasionally, the cutting process could result in subtle, low-level atmospheric noise in the dead wax. 
    Contextual Details Regarding this Specific Pressing:
    • 1986 Limited Edition: This box set (limited to 1,000 sets) was released to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Tokyo concert.
    • Cutting and Mastering: The 1986 pressings used the same 1981-1986 Abbey Road transfers but often have "D" suffix matrices, differing slightly from the 1982 red vinyl pressings.
    • Unique Sound Characteristics: Japanese pressings are known for extreme quietness, but they sometimes have a brighter sound profile compared to UK originals, which can make low-level noises more audible.  YouTube +1
    The phenomenon you are hearing is commonly described by collectors as an exceptionally quiet, high-quality, but nonetheless "notched" or slightly brighter-sounding vinyl, making any subtle residue noise in the silent dead wax more apparent than on other, noisier pressings.
