Requested audio details - During the 1st tune on side one the light repetitive ticks start at appx. 1:15 min. into the tune and last until appx. 5:35 min., there are areas during this time where the music overpowers the ticks and they are not heard, while other areas of the tune where the ticks are lightly heard but are not distracting, and in other quieter/solo playing areas of the tune the ticks seem loud and might probably be distracting to the listener.
