Mozart Edition - Trade Test Tape Upgrade Requests

[tonyc1971]

Thanks Tony. My last post suffered from fat fingers! I was after MELP 039 not 0038. Do you happen to have that, please?

I have, but only an MP3 version.  Hopefully, a lossless version will surface..

Thanks Retro!

Thanks Tony. For someone whose recorded musical experience started out with Shellac 78s in the 50s an MP3 is absolutely fine for me!

a very big thank you to Retronic and Tony, you made my day

Thanks once again to Retronic for supplying more previously unobtainable LPs.   

Only one of these titles has any trade test related tracks on it.  That being MESLP 067.  The tapes affected are One More Swing, Nature Trail and Looking Around.  But, these have already been sourced from elsewhere, thanks to various compilations.  However, it's always good to have the, 'original!'

Thanks for these five latest additions to our Mozart Edition armoury, Retro. Where would we be without you?!!

Also, double checking my Mozart albums, I don't appear to have a lossless copy of 024, could anyone provide a new link as I know it's been shared before.  Even my folder says FLAC but they are all MP3's so I've made a balls up somewhere.

Here's MELP 024, Tony: ht**s://pixeldrain.com/u/5TqqFeya

Have you got a vinyl copy of 047 you could rip to help out my dodgy recording of it ?

Freshly ripped, this morning.

Thanks for this freshly ripped 047, Retro. So fresh it was still warm!!

Was downloading from a user on Soulseek some Mozart Edition albums, they were in wav format, unfortunately though it looks very much like they have or somebody has upsampled them from the original flac from here I'd imagine to wav, but they upsampled from 44,100 to 48,000 which only makes the file size larger and the frequencies higher than they should be, this was the result from Audacity and the Lossless Audo checker.

If someone wishes to burn an audio CD from these resulting files at 48,000 is impossible, they have to be 44,100, ok if they are originally ripped at 48,000 then that's fine as you can decrease from 48,000 to 44,100 but not increase from 44,100 to 48,000 as it will not make the quality any better.

I'm lucky that I can burn flac files to CD, but they need to be in 16bit & 44,100 in order to do so.

You never know the quality you're receiving on soulseek unlike on this marvellous site.

Big thanks to Nidostar for 24 and Retronic for 47 !

As for Soulseek, agreed.  It's definitely hit or miss.  Most of the lossless albums out there are genuine, you just need to remember the user names to look out for trustworthy rips.  The albums that I share are either my own or what has been shared previously on LMT.  I haven't been on there for a while, but feel free to have a look around when I'm online.  Same user name as here.
