Well, you're right; your original rip of Side A was better, even with the lossy format. It's unfortunate the original disc you used is no longer available. Still, I thank you for your effort, sir. Maybe someday another well-preserved copy of this LP will turn up or, even better, whoever has the rights to these tracks could use the original masters to re-release them in digital form. The latter wish is unlikely to happen, but some of the JW tracks from that era have surfaced online, so you never know. Again, thanks.
