February 5, 201016 yr Author Nicely done Al! I like the second list of 25 a bit more than the first. I'm considering a subscription to it.
February 5, 201016 yr HDTracks.com - FLAC Rebecca Pidgeon - The Raven: The Bob Katz 15th Anniversary Remaster [24/88]How's that HD Raven? I was hovering over the Buy button on it just the other day.
February 6, 201016 yr Sorry for the OT, but what is the res of the tracks on HDTracks.com that are outside the "HiRes Store"?
February 6, 201016 yr Right, the main store is lossless / CD quality (the argument being that this is 'HD' compared to most downloadable stuffs) and only the HiRes store is > 16/44. I bought Kind of Blue, remastered to 24/96 by Pristine Audio. Not sure yet how much I like it. Feels like some instruments got unnaturally hot. But my regular CD is still packed from the move and I don't have a lossless rip, so it's thoroughly possible I'm misremembering its sound.
February 7, 201016 yr They only say CD quality. If you are going to buy make sure you use Paypal. Why Paypal as opposed to credit card?

Hate to say this, but the guy that runs that bootleg site is an It's basically a needle drop from not very good vinyl (not speed corrected) that he "remastered" and selling because KOB has passed it's EU copyright date.
February 7, 201016 yr Why Paypal as opposed to credit card? HD Tracks had a problem with their credit card system and it was not secure.

It's my first time buying with them. Saw them mentioned in a New Yorker article a while back and decided to give it a try. And thought, "this isn't sounding too great but I don't have my original CD handy to compare so maybe I'm fooling myself."
February 9, 201016 yr Been going a little crazy thanks to a nicely-sized bonus from work not too long ago. Even got most of these used which is even better. I love the WAYLT thread, it just keeps on giving! (Almost done ripping them all to FLAC too, save for about a handful's worth.)

I was hovering over the Buy button on it just the other day. Don't know, haven't listened to it yet. I've sorta been buying more music than I have time to listen to lately. Maybe I'll check it out sometime soon, will let you know.
February 9, 201016 yr Anybody pick up the new Buzzcocks reissues or heard anything about how they sound?
February 9, 201016 yr No, but I will... (huge Buzzcocks fan, probably my favorite pop-punk) Edit: actually, they're calling them reissues, so as far as I can tell, they've rearranged them into 2CD releases is all. Maybe a little bit I don't have, so may still get them. Edited February 9, 201016 yr by Dusty Chalk

Maybe a little bit I don't have, so may still get them. Pitchfork has the complete listings, and some places say remastered and some don't. There was a 2008 remaster, so maybe they used that.

March 13, 201016 yr Author More Fantasy 45 Analogue Productions back catalog releases. But today I scored one of my holy grail items, a mono DCC Beach Boys Pet Sounds. Now about 4 shy of all the ones that I want to own (I think I have 6 or 7 DCC LPs)
April 1, 201016 yr I haven't bought them yet, but HD Tracks just got Concord Records on board and that means a lot of good music coming to Hi Rez, especially classic jazz discs. They already have some good stuff and I am hoping for much more. https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php?file=staticpage&pagename=newreleases
