About this transfer:

Here's one that's been on my "to-do" list for awhile. Since I got such a good response from my last Mac Davis transfer, I thought I'd give it a shot with this one, which is just a better-sounding record all around. A CD for this album doesn't exist in Discogs and isn't available on iTunes, so I don't know if a proper CD has ever been released. The sound from this transfer, however, will be difficult to improve upon. Apart from some distortion inherent in the pressing (inner groove distortion as well as some occasional harsh "s" sounds), this digitization is near perfection.
I spent a bit of time cleaning and playing this sucker to remove as many imperfections as possible from the groove (unfortunately I'm not in possession of any fancy VPI machine or something). I then transferred it with the above lineage, and kept the dynamic range and pure quality in mind all the way. There has been NO DESTRUCTIVE NOISE REDUCTION like had been applied to another vinyl rip I'd downloaded from here in an MP3.
As of current, I feel confident saying that this is the best-sounding digital version of this album available. Enjoy!
