Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think this one has been posted in the group before. Maybe a long time
ago or in a compilation, but I kinda doubt it. This is the Rudy Van Gelder 24
bit remastered version of the release, sampled off a Tidal Music Service
webstream.
These Tidal service webstream rips are supposed to be CD quality, and in this
case I believe it's possibly one of their HDCD quality streams. Not sure on
that one. Rip was done using an Asus Xonar DG sound card. Wave editor was Cool
Edit Pro using 48kbs, floating 32 bit settings. It was then toned down to 24
bit resolution using DbPowerAmp, so that it could be interpreted as a readable
PCM stream for the FLAC encoder. No alterations were performed, other than
what follows.
I totally silenced any system noise between tracks with the editor. The track
timings will be fairly close to match what's posted below, but they are by no
means perfect. Since this is a rip from an audio stream (and not a CD), no
.cue or .log files are available. So, given that, it might not be something
the hardcore collectors will be interested in. Overall I think it sounds fine
for casual listening purposes. CD quality to my old ears, anyway.
Tracks are tagged and I always include info regarding the source and methods
used to rip it in the comments section. If possible I'll try to include some
artwork with it.
I usually am not great about replying to re: posts in the group. Just don't
lurk the binaries the way I used to, I suppose. However, I do try to pad the
releases with plenty of .pars to help them survive in the wild. This is just
my way of paying it forward after years of grabbing stuff on here. Here's a
very tasty mid 60's release of Mitchell's with a smoking ensemble and I hope
you enjoy it - mm
