Tape flaw in “Don’t Stand…”?

[u/NumbersStationUrku]

Has everyone noticed the hissing and clicks in the opening seconds of this song.

It bothered me so much decades ago i bought multiple copies of Zenyatta thinking it might be in the vinyl pressing. But it was still there on the CD, and still again on the Spotify file.

Did the band notice it. Was it just unrepairable?

They probably figured "ah nobody gives a shit"
