[Radio Records] - RRS 151 - Maripal, Chrissy - Scores (1973) *FLAC*

[Greta]

I've been hesitant whether to post it or not since I found it.
This is quite a recent find, but I'm not 100% convinced about the authenticity of the lossless files.
Actually, just a couple of them leave me some doubt.
I'll be all ears about your technical opinion guys.

In the meantime enjoy this tremendous record. One of the best I discovered last year thanks to our fellow member N°2 who firstly shared the mp3 version.


In addition, I had to urgently save an old Mega account that would otherwise be lost, and this looked a good occasion to me.

Fantastic find Greta! I do also remember the debate about the typeface and the "r" being interpreted as a "P"

[Ice8]

Thanks Greta for the rip!

Hi Greta, all files are genuine.

How do we know? Same method as previously: by looking at the high-frequency noise in spectral analyses. It goes right up to 22 kHz (22.05 kHz, more precisely). MP3 does not encode this. Even Vorbis at 500 kbit/s doesn't capture it completely. Try it yourself (with the track "Notturnale", for example, which may seem the most doubtful), maximising the windows of spectral analyses of the FLAC and its MP3/Vorbis conversions and switching between them.

Thanks for this! I confess that I've not yet come around to listening, so I cannot say anything about actual -- meaning: sound -- quality here. It may be good, or it may be less so.

I've only considered the question whether any of these files have been produced from a lossy source. The answer is: no.

Wow Greta! Thank you so much for sharing this rare gem, and thanks for your generosity in general.
It's  highly appreciated.

Thank you Greta!

this one replaces a 256 kbps very nicely...and just as likedeeler I see it pop the 22KHz treshold quite confidently...¦-)

thank you, greta!!

yeah I recall the older mp3 needing an upgrade. this should check it off the list.

many thanks!!

Greta, I thank you for this amazing lossless album find!

[AfricPepperbird]

Thanks much, Greta.

I prefer (and have titled it as such) "Scopes"

Thank you so much. I've been hoping for a FLAC rip of this
for some time. I'll play it on my radio show tonight.

Me too.

Thank you Greta
This one sounds better than preview
Sadly it was denoised,... anyway better than nothing

Not sure what you're saying here, are you saying that this flac version has been denoised?

No doubt
That's my opinion and agree with it
As Greta said : I'll be all ears about your technical opinion,
What"s yours Zoomo, you look surprised
