Yeah the (terrible) remix is on the USB stick.

I actually like the remix. It's a lot better than the standard remixes we know nowadays; the track has a lot in common with the original.

Yes, the Stardust remix is very nice.

I just found that the 2nd side of the 1st vinyl are full of loud clicks that cause distortions of the sound.

Here is a small example of it:

Hurray for vinyl! It's the saviour of audio! (notice my sarcasm)

Reminds me of the time I got the original German LP edition of Kraftwerk's Trans Europa Express and how the B side had this horrible ticking sound all over the place (nothing like that on the A side or most other Records). Had to switch the needle to my backup one and the ticking sound was gone. Of course, later on I got a new record player altogether with a way more proper needle cartridge to begin with, and the overall sound was majorly improved as well.

Anyhoo, cannot listen to those samples yet, but I don't remember hearing anything like that on my record.

Sounds like a small scratch . Perhaps you will see it with a magnifying glass ?

No noise like that in my copy. Might be the record, might be the needle.

Suggestions for questions that he hasn't answered a gazillion times in all the other interviews he has given in the past weeks are welcome.

I'm begging you, please ask him about the 30-second piece that opens the Electronica trailer. What is it (name?) and when can we have it (Electronica 2 possibly?). PLEASE. I love this track.

Giorgio Moroder collaboration ... synthesis & style suits Giorgio

Famed for his stunning live concerts and the multi-million selling album Oxygène of 1976, French composer and electronic pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre is still going strong.

Seems like you was right. The 2nd side has lots of superficial scratches because of bad packing of the records. The records were wrapped in covers without PVC bags (just like The Vinyl Factory did with their 12" JMJ singles)...

I don't get it why we still get vinyl records released that do not have decent inner sleeves.
It's not exactly like those were invented yesterday...
My 2014 pressing of Daft Punk's "Discovery" also has cardboard inner sleeves. Granted, they do look nice, but that's rather secondary to having your records well protected.
