Phase change in America

Anyone notice that while playing America from the Around the World in a Day album CD, the phase changes in your headphones at 3:18 as the song fades? I bought this album the day it was released and I never noticed this! Go check it out and tell me if you hear it.

I have that weird affectation of 'hearing' songs graphically, as if the entire song has form, color and texture and I always 'saw' this song as having a 'tail' since it goes from two stereo tracks down to one mono track at the very end and fades out like a mice tail.

I think it's hard to explain this to someone who doesn't have it.

I know what part you mean.

Once you hear the extended 21 minute version, listening to the album version becomes a bit restricting to listen, sometimes. It's a funky-ass song. Love it to death...
