I've skipped the ones that look less interesting to me- the historic/ classical ones.  Happy to do them if anyone's desperate but think they've been ripped before.  Equally if someone wants to upload the missing ones in FLAC feel free

thank you retronic! 

[Flemming]

Beautiful, thanks again Retronic. 

[RedMonarch]

Dam retronic, i still haven't finished listening to all the other sonotons you shared!  . Nevertheless thank you for upgrading these, especially the "slow" and "fast" ones.

[Retronic]

No worries.  Slowly working through them- will probably stop around 200.

[Greta]

Many many thanks Retro. These records deserve a better quality.

[Herr Balpert]

No worries.  Slowly working through them- will probably stop around 200.

There are loads of good ones after 200!

Always appreciate your time and efforts Retronic! Sonoton does indeed have some great titles through all the 1980's and beyond.

Thanks Retronic, for another installment of Sonoton vinyl rips 


Without being a party-pooper, I've found a discrepancy on my copy of SON 133. It's a 2x 320 rip of the LP.

Because of the 2x bundling .rar, the size of the file makes it appear as a FLAC file, until the file is opened.  I don't know if anybody's had a chance to notice yet, which is why I'm having to bring it up.

Still, your 320 VBR is better than the original 320 CBR rip that I had, so it's all good

Aside from that 320 copy of SON 133, all of your rips are new to me. It's an embarrassment of riches, like winning a musical lottery!

Thanks again for your fine FLAC rips.

[Retronic]

I'm glad you told me that-  I took it off my Sony FLAC player for ease as couldn't find the rip and it says it's a 1411 but I always thought it must do some compression on the player.  I would imagine it is that it was recorded the same as the others.  I'll dig it out and repost 

[Muff Diver]

No worries, Retronic. Thanks again for your largesse

[Retronic]

Scratch that- I checked and it was a 320!!  I will rip it at FLAC for consistency! 

[ericmivalstoothbrush]

Wow, this is amazing! Thanks a lot, Retronic. You sure spoil us! 

I was just wondering -- and I'm not sure how to ask this question in the nicest possible way without sounding ungrateful -- but at times some weird interference pop up in your files. Perhaps it's your turntable, or your cables, or something electrical interfering with... something? Here's a picture from a track off "Underwater, Vol. 1":



Those horizontal lines can be seen (and sometimes be heard) in some of your rips from time to time. Once again, I'm not complaining but I'm genuinely intrigued what this might be! I have absolutely no idea myself because I've never seen anything like this before. It sounds a bit like ring modulation or a bit crusher in the affected frequencies...

[Retronic]

I recorded these over Christmas and the turntable was on the carpeted floor in the front room. I felt I could hear the turntable movement noise more.   I heard some electro noise when editing these but I thought that it wasn’t on the rip as when I checked it wasn’t heard in the same place- if that makes sense. So it was live at the time of playing it back and not recorded on the rip. 
I recorded most of the last bunch back in it’s place in the front room so would be interested if these ‘ghosts’ appear there.  So SON 134-136.
