The Power of Independent Trucking - mastered stereo rip *a MUST have*
60-80% of the tracks show no evidence of vinyl lineage. The others it's been minimized as much as possible.
Until we get our hands on the Warner Strategic Marketing CDs these came from, it's the best we're going to get. Download and enjoy!
Please note that punters may choose between Tate/Warners "Reel Around The Fountain" takes - the version posted here yesterday, vs. the version posted in the set over at the other blog just now, for their own RTT136-A sets as each has a slightly different EQ profile. I myself prefer the one in the demo set because I just finished mastering it tonight to match the overall tonal quality of the demo set in its entirety, but others may prefer the one posted yesterday. Up to you! Or you can put both in your RTT136-A bundle - it's your choice!
My co-host and I expect our regularly-scheduled programming to resume in imminent fashion.
You are completely spoiling us all, Mr A-L. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteCan 2011 maintain this blistering pace of leaks, audio revelations and general Smithsian excitement???
Not sure whether to post my thanks here or over at TPOIT, but either way... Many, many thanks, yet again, for all your effort in bringing us this. In France, they'd build you a statue.

marvelous work, but the stereo downloads I can't seem to open. Any ideas? Thanks for everything!
ReplyDeleteThe one thing that the mono rip had going for it was the lack of sibilance. Still, it's good to have both versions (until I can get my hands on the actual 2LP) and I thank you for your effort!
ReplyDeleteSirius/XM's "1st Wave" channel recently played "Heavy Track", calling it an unreleased Marr solo project, and implying it was much newer than 80s vintage.
