Thanks, mojofilter. Did you tweak these much, or are they straight transfers? The inserts say "Digitally Remastered at A=440Hz" so I trust that you applied some pitch correction where needed.

[mojofilter]

Only pitch and phase correction if and where necessary. I never mess with the sound of anything or EQ it or make it sound different and call it "remastered," unlike so many other people today. These are straight transfers and sound just like the CDs, except you could play along with every one of the songs on an instrument without having to retune, rather than not being able to play along because you can't just retune your piano for every track. I have that cursed advanced tonal memory (not perfect pitch... I wouldn't wish that on anybody).

Thanks, yymca6. Anybody have these two in FLAC? I just noticed my copies are mp3:

RMW0213 Documents Volume 3 (mp3 256)
RMW0215 Documents Volume 5 (mp3 192)

I am still looking for them...

[mojofilter]

RMW 213 and 215 Documents were lost in a hard drive crash, and I haven't got around to redoing them, or dozens of others, just yet. Someday. I'm not sure how it's possible to have those discs with RMW numbers as mp3s in two different bitrates, because I'm not aware of ever having posted them anywhere, and I don't post anything in mp3.

Thanks for updates, yymca6.

RMW 213 and 215 Documents were lost in a hard drive crash, and I haven't got around to redoing them, or dozens of others, just yet. Someday.

Thanks for comments/checking, guys. I don't recall the source either. 20ish years ago I converted a lot of stuff to mp3 as I got it mistakenly thinking the disk space saved was worth it. Note: I never converted it back, I just replaced it with lossless as I could. It's possible I converted these at some point, or that I grabbed someone else posting them in MP3 - every couple of years I trawl some of the larger torrent sites and see what I can get. I just don't recall.

And as it stands I notated it wrong, the RMW213 is actually MP3 320k. I mark folders like that so I know for which to seek out lossless replacements.

Also, I seem to have Documents v3 and v5 as wav/cue if those are helpful at some point. Document Records DR029 and DR031.

Thanks for the offer, though I have silvers of Vol. 3 and 5, one on Document and the other a reissue on Oh! Boy. One of these days...

[dascottjr]

Not a Beatles title, but does anyone have RMW's version of "Sweet Rutle Tracks" (the raw rehearsal tape bootleg)? Been trying to find a definitive (and gapless) version of that for ages! Thanks in advance....

[mojofilter]

Stand by. I have to go under the hood on it to check on some stuff.
