Here is the elusive MESLP 085:  mega.nz/folder/J1ZiwKCJ#aux7KeXqhkzoeG7wLYZF0Q

I was delighted to find while I was transferring this that my copy is pressed on vinyl that goes a lovely turquoise colour when you hold it up to the light - it must be a Pye Records/Tranco pressing!

Thank you for MESLP 085 Lord Thames. Its title perhaps understated the musical content it offers. Hence I had hesitated to take up your offer earlier to share. But it is actually a very listenable album featuring flute and guitar solos. That said it does feel slightly out of character from ME releases of the day. I tried holding the FLAC files up to the light but couldn't see any turquoise colour....!!

I have never heard this ME album before, Lord Thames, and it ws a joy - It didn't sound that exciting from the title, but I really enjoyed it. Thank you !

Thanks for 085 LT, really appreciated.  This is a new one on me.  Track 1 sounds strangely familiar but can't place it.  Maybe it was an old BBC testcard track.

Looking for a stereo rip of ME LP 029, featuring the Hans Hatter & George Hermann orchestras

[tonyc1971]

There isn't a stereo version of this as is listed at MELP as opposed to the MESLP (stereo).  This has been shared as a lossless file.  Post back if this is good enough.

[Ricardo di Brigantium]

Ah, yes you're right, I had forgotten the switch to stereo happened after 066.

I have stereo versions of some of the tracks on 029 from other sources, so assumed the rest might also be available. But a good mono would suffice, as the mono version I have has some noticable compression in volume in places, usually where there interplay between quieter solo instruments (eg flutes) and the entire orchestra.

No problem, here you go...

Big thanks to Retronic for this rip.  I've had another listen to this and sounds good.  However, do post back if there are any issues.

[KPMPK1001]

Does anyone have MELP 001, MELP 002, and MELP 004?

Thanks in advance!

[Retronic]

Here's 02 and 04, recorded by someone else, not me.
I have 01 but haven't ripped it yet:

Thank you Retro and Nido!

Re: MELP 029, Edition UK have just made this available as a download, and I'm delighted to say it's off tape and in stereo.

The download is fairly pricey, at £20, but it's a definite upgrade from the vinyl - Mozart Edition's pressings were pretty shonky at the best of times, especially in the mono days.

They're putting other LPs that have sold out as vinyl copies as downloads gradually, it will probably be worth investigating if they've done stereo versions of other mono LPs too.

[nidostar]

Yes I noticed a couple of weeks ago that EditionUK were starting to make albums available for download. Do we happen to know what format the downloads are in, FLAC, MP3? And thanks LT for a new word to add to my vocabulary - shonky! Not come across it before. Almost sounds like a made-up word but it is in the dictionary though confused my spell checker.

[Lord Thames]

Ha, I think shonky might be Australian in origin, it's a very useful word!

Format is wav - you buy the download then a nice man sends you a Dropbox link a little while later - I bought 029 as a test to see if they used the stereo versions or just used a vinyl rip.  I will definitely be buying more as finances allow.
