Damn I shoulda kept holding out on this one, haha
You won't regret it. It's Neil and the Horse, shredding in a tiny Santa Cruz club, before heading out on the Ragged Glory tour. Unbelievable value at that price.
Played my copy the other day. It RIPS!Oh, I've listened to it endlessly on digital. It's one I've been AFTER!
Keep us posted! Do you know who mastered those, or is it just a straight tape transfer to DSD?Import CDs has 10% off today with TENOFF code
They sell vinyl, but I was there to buy the new Japanese SHM-SACD high-res editions of Waltz for Debby and Sunday @ Village Vanguard, which ImpCDs has for $26 before the discount (regular US retail seems to be $39).
I already have nice vinyl copies of both albums so was avoiding the new OJC reissues (even though I suspect they’re better than what I have based on reviews of the OJCs). I may sell my vinyl if I like the SACDs, or I’ll sell the SACDs if I prefer my vinyl copies.
Unclear. Universal JP’s site (translated) says this: “Adopts the 2023 remastering sound source 192khz/24bit based on the U.S. original analog master.” Speculation on HRAudio.net (link here) is that the hi-res files are from KG’s mastering (remastering?). I suspect someone on SHF has discussed/speculated, as well, but I’m not a member there so cannot search the forum.Keep us posted!

Ah ok they’re PCM, not DSD. I would suspect the same. I don’t think there’s been another version archived at 192, to my knowledge.Unclear.

Sorry, didn’t mean to suggest they’re PCM. The Discogs listing for WfD says about the Japanese text on the obi: “NEW SACD, 2023 remaster, 192kHz/24bit to DSD on Obi,” and I can see “DSD” on the obi, so that makes sense.Ah ok they’re PCM, not DSD.

Oh!! Got it. I’m not sure I’ve heard DSD made from hi res PCM. Definitely curious what you think when you get them!Sorry, didn’t mean to suggest they’re PCM.

Was it on their site or eBay? Seems to be backordered on their site sadlyImport CDs has 10% off today with TENOFF code

King Scratch

New West has their Black Friday sale on now. Some decent stuff in there (if you like New West artists).
It's also in the Amazon 3 for 2 for $81, so you can get it down to $54 with the right trio.This shows as $46 on the page, but $148 in the cart.
I'm not saying that you should get it and then PIF the albums. I'm not.Not me considering snagging the Pylon box set even though I already own Gyrate and Chomp...
I think i got their last copy of Sunday at Vanguard. I didn’t know that when I posted yesterday. Figured it out bc I had both in my Amazon cart (w Import CDs as seller), and S@VV was deleted from Amazon cart next time I looked, so they must link inventory. It was gonna be about $8 more through Amazon v. direct.Was it on their site or eBay? Seems to be backordered on their site sadly
