Don’t confuse a dash with a hyphen (see Hyphens). Dashes are longer than hyphens.
There are two types of dashes: the en dash and the em dash.
The en dash is based on the size of an uppercase N, and the em dash is based on the size of an uppercase M.
So the em dash is longer than the en dash.
- hyphen
– en dash
— em dash
The en dash is a linking device that implies to or and. one to five = 1–5
The em dash is a separating device. It signals a pause slightly longer than a comma, or it interrupts the sentence for a purposeful digression. "I would say this — erm — this is good."

(DE)

Im Deutschen wird nur ein dem en-Dash entsprechendes Zeichen verwendet. Dies ist das typografisch richtige Zeichen für einen Gedankenstrich, der sogenannte Halbgeviertstrich. Sie können den Halbgeviertstrich vereinfachend auch als typographisches Minuszeichen verwenden.
Den em-Dash gibt es im Deutschen nicht.
Setzen Sie im Deutschen bei der Verwendung des en-Dashs als Gedankenstrich immer jeweils ein Leerzeichen vor und nach den Strich.
z.B.: Der Umgang mit Dashes ist einfach – zumindest im Vergleich zur Verwendung von Kommas.

Setzen Sie bei der Verwendung des en-Dashs als Minuszeichen kein Leerzeichen vor und nach den Strich.
z.B.: Die Berechnung lautet: 10–3=7.

My copy of this release has some pressing(?) errors on disc 1; are these on all copies?
These are the errors I found:
track 1-9 distortions starting at 2:06
and the right channel is very low at tracks 1-8 to 1-11

Have Don Robey and Fats Washington, the "writers" of Pledging My Love (1973), ever been sued by John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Apple or anybody else for plagiarizing Happy X-Mas (War Is Over), written by Yoko Ono & John Lennon (1971) ?

Thank you very much for your examination! I hoped for that result, even when I don't like this effect.

Just got this version of the album and noticed a pressing(?) error in track 2 starting at 3:48 lasting till 3:52.
Is this on all copies of this pressing?
(I have the one with Matrix / Runout (Variant 2): 5211942 . 1:1:4 EMI SWINDON)
