there's no hissing.. it's part of the sound. you can refer to techno artits like basic channel who use layers of crackling and hiss to produce sound and music. it's a great effect. tracklisting i believe are different on vinyl and CD. 1-13 list is correct for CD. i don't know about the vinyl though. seems like the tracks were cut in a different order for vinyl which might make sense for djing purposes.. just a thought.
