Electrostatic noise on "Afterhours"

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

I have 3 different vinyl versions of Body and Soul, and all 3 during the guitar parts have a very upfront electrostatic noise.

Does anyone have a good explanation why this is happening?

Bad pressings? Just listened and can't hear it. However, I'd never noticed before how much it sounds like early Sisters, especially Phantom.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.
