If you mean the On remixes, then yes, my vinyl has the same dropout starting
at about 4 seconds in and repeats itself every 4 or 5 seconds for about 20
seconds then fades out. I thought my crappy needle was just impacting dust,
but I cleaned it multiple times and its still there.

Well, it seems to be RJ's signature. From what I hear, he records his songs
once, then takes the DAT and plays it for all his friends around town, then
fires it off to Warp or whatnot. I suppose the masters take some abuse and are
less than pristine when they arrive (although, it does give the mu-ziq mix a
strange, faded, worn-in-a-good-way sound... its odd, sure enough)
btw, this was all mentioned before about 1.5 months ago for you deja vu types.
