[Selected Sound] SS 9069 - Helena [Roland Kovac] (1979) WAV
« on: December 13, 2018, 10:45:48 AM »
Here's a library classic that's never been out there in lossless before (as far as I know). I actually ripped this nearly 1 year ago exactly and never got around to cutting it up and posting it. With all the holiday season sharing and cheer going on around here, I wanted to chip in somehow :)

Really wish they'd issue this original LP on CD (or on the library sites where some have access). All that exists for CD is a really horrible and oversaturated in reverb remixed 1987 version.

This was used in episodes of Prisoner- usually on someone's stereo or radio when they had guests over for light nibbles and cocktails. I do miss the 70’s...

So many amazing shares last weeks, with this one I'm lifting off the ground finally, smiling widely. D-ah-nke schön, PL!

That's what the holiday season is all about...sharing and bringing joy when we can :)

Glad a handful were needing a lossless of this one. Wasn't sure how many had it on vinyl.

Thanks for the WAV upgrade, PL!

You may be shocked to know (shocked, I say!), but I did NOT already have this recording in vinyl or LOSSLESS.

In fact, the copy I've had was originally ripped in 2008 and was a corrupted, fake-320. But it's still a delicious record  :)

Just comparing the beautiful spectrals on your tracks is a lovely sight  :)

I was actually shocked that there wasn't too many that had the vinyl and never ripped it lossless before...so a good post I did then  :D Still wish they'd issue a CD. I found that a would be CD version is available on one of the UK library sites, but no one ever had access to it. So, this is the best we get for now.
