Music De Wolfe (Lossless)

[BlackwatchPlaid]

It appears that mediafire is inspecting the archives uploaded to their service and disabling downloads, offering a link to Amazon in its place. Only a few are affected so far, but I can imagine this spreading like a disease among the other links. If any you're trying to get have been affected, let me know and I'll get it online for you again. In the meantime I may have to redo this collection and others with password-protected files. I really abhor using passwords in archives, it's always a hassle for everyone involved, but if it keeps prying eyes away from the contents of the archives it'll just have to be done. It was a bit of a chore getting them up in the first place so this won't be immediate, but hopefully we can keep these files online one way or another!

De Wolfe are very protective of their copyright, particularly with full albums that they're not able to fingerprint. A short term solution might be to remove them from public view and add a password. It's a pity really with all the work you have put in making the files availalbe.

That has nothing to do with DW.
Mediafire has been doing that for years. (AI)
Multiple refreshing of the link/ dl page might help.

xyz.rar with or without pass and coded dir name might be the best solution, yes.

Hi everyone, I've been into libray music since the 1970s thanks to the BBC test cards, and it's great to find a site devoted to this music, so we can be sure it won't all just disappear into history. Blackwatchplaid has done a marvellous job collecting all these archives and uploading them. It must have taken weeks...

Can I ask a question though... I noticed that some of the DWS/LP 3500 series are in mono, although I know these LPs were issued in stereo. I'm looking for a good stereo lossless copy of DWS/LP 3535 Visual Image, containing uptempo tuneful synth pieces performed by Unit 9, one of my favourite de Wolfe groups.

Thanks in advance.

I do appreciate you pointing this out, the files themselves are 2 channel so I wouldn't have noticed. I do have a different copy of this album, I don't know the source, I got it from soulseek, but it does sound a lot better than the other one

Thanks. A few others were affected, but I can't remember which ones. 3535 was the one I was after.

My first warning is when both channels' waveforms look identical. A quick check with headphones confirms.

Thank you Blackwatchplaid for updating DWS/LP 3535! 

Sorry it took me a few days to see your link... I was looking below my last post instead of above it!
