Thank you WTAMH19. Are these the ones from the Macquarie collection on the Internet Archive? If so I'm puzzled why they've been downscaled from the FLAC originals to 128kbps MP3. In doing so I feel the quality of some of the rips has become muffled and excessively bass-y.

Thanks very much, WTAMH19. Are there any Chappell 78s from the .C series catalogue available to share, please? Thanks.

if you’re wondering why they are 128kps or mp3 is because FLACS Don’t Work On Kevin’s Computer Because He Has A An Old Computer Which Can’t Have A FLAC In His File, If You’re Wondering Why They Haved Became Muffled Or Bass-Y It’s Because Kevin Has Them Like That & Nope They Are Never From The Internet Archive.

Thank you. I was curious, that’s all. No criticism intended.
