There’s a playlist of some Ariston on yt youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLqOD4xGbcwwqeFF5Ubvkvwus4lY-rUt4&si=HHIBuq1UqiTOco4B

Handy to audition the albums in Blackwatch’s list.

I've just seen that you've posted an image of the other BRM and Ariston albums, unfortunately being in the nanny state of the UK, I can't see the image.
Yes, it’s weird. When in the UK I can’t see the Imgur images. And yet here in France with my VPN set to UK they come out fine. Odd.

I've heard that playlist before.

BWP, do you have any other Ariston albums?
I added a few more to my list.

I do, and I don't know if some of them are indeed the same library. I have a bunch of BRM cat# prefixes and a bunch of AR LP prefixes. It's all Ariston AFAICT I just don't know the reason for the different catalogue numbers. I got all the BRM ones ready to upload, but if the other LPs are to be included, it makes more sense to uplaod the full lot. Here's a screenshot of what I have you can let me know if you want them all or just the BRMs.



I'm only interested in the New Age one, but since they're rare, I think it's better for me just to have all of them. If you want, provide the non BRM ones.

No prob. Here's the lot, minus the 3 albums I found that are ridiculously transcoded (see this gallery if you're curious just how bad). The AR LP albums are all mp3, mostly lower bitrates, 128s, 192s, a few 320s. Most of the BRM albums are flac, as labeled in the filename.

Many thanks BWP. I only had three Ariston albums BRM's 12, 15 and 17. They all sound good. I'm going through your BRM set at the moment and they don't disappoint.

One thing that puzzles me though - an observation not a complaint. It always strikes me as odd that the original rippers of these albums have enough pride in their work that they save tracks as WAV or 24 bit FLAC and yet often the final product is not as good as it could be. BRM 003 is a good example. The sound level is so low you can hardly hear the music. The other thing that gets me going is the unnecessarily long lead in for some tracks. One track on BRM 003 had a 7 second lead in of complete silence before the music started. Crazy! Fortunately being FLACs I can edit them to address these shortcomings without detriment to the quality of the audio data.

As I said it's an observation only because I know you've got these from your travels around the net and that you aspire to higher standards for your own rips. But I just wonder why people are content to put out substandard rips in the first place but in 24 bit FLAC?

Hi Nidostar!
Would you mind sharing BRM 15 with me? It's on my wishlist.

By the way, do you know if your rip of volume 17 is better quality than what BWP has?
I don't understand audio THAT much, but it seems you realize some of BWP's rips are not as good as they could be.
I originally wanted complete Ariston rips cuz the stuff I was downloading from YT wasn't the best. I for sure wanted "Ask me Anything" from volume 1 because the snare drum in the song was low quality sounding for half of the recording in the YT version.
