Title: Jacques Siroul ‎in lossless? [St Germain Des Prés, Selection Records, etc.]
Post by: ericmivalstoothbrush on February 28, 2019, 01:27:37 PM: Hi chaps,

I'd very much like to upgrade my old mp3 copy of this great LP (https://www.discogs.com/Jacques-Siroul-Midway/release/1433670) and/or hear pretty much any 70s Siroul stuff. Does anyone have a nice sounding lossless version of 'Midway' available perhaps? It would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Post by: tezeta on February 28, 2019, 04:58:45 PM: You totally read my mind, eric! I'd simply love to hear a lossless Midway, one of the coolest LP's I know. Sadly the only copy out there is not just mp3, but transcoded mp3 at that. :-\

The only lossless Siroul I have is an excellent rip of the delightful My Lovely Planet on Selection. Shall I post that for you?

Great minds think alike, eh? ;D

I love that LP, it's definitely one of my favourite libraries. There used to be a version on Spotify but I believe it's gone now (?)... Would love to hear it in high quality someday, though!

Thanks a million for "My Lovely Planet". Funny, considering how much I love "Midway" I still haven't heard anything else by Siroul. Thanks a lot for rectifying that, tezeta! :-*

Huzzah! You're an absolute legend, vslava! Thank you so much for this! Might this be the same version also available on streaming sites, by the way?

An original LP rip is always a welcome addition; I'm mistrustful of any digital remastering or enhancement that may go on when these albums are reissued.

Seconded, x10!

Oftentimes, just having the music is good enough, especially when, just prior to downloading, all you had was nothing but fond wishes and desires for said music. Beggars can't be choosers

On the other hand, in comparing newly remastered reissues with the original vinyl, with few exceptions such as from Vocalion, etc, I prefer the original vinyl.

Besides, if a recording sounded 'good enough' during the initial run, how can it be that with a tweak here and there that the reissue sounds so amazingly better? Human hearing hasn't evolved that much in just a few decades. It's more a question of over marketing, over producing and greed.

Sometimes, less is more. Know what i mean?

Post by: tezeta on March 20, 2019, 09:45:18 PM: For what it's worth, House's own rip sounds much better to me than the qobuz version. Thanks so much for offering us another view of this library classic!
