The BC-13 vinyl dutch Pressings

[mitchellmichael]

Numerous years ago, someone sent me the hi-res files of the Dutch BC-13 "Abbey Road" for his project. I'm sorry not to have the others, I can't remember who the sender was, but please feel free to have this one if you want it. 2496, 900 MB. No artwork. Link 7 days: hxxps://we.tl/t-UAKYzqGXBx

A nice appetizer while we wait for the main course! Thanks mojofilter!

I've begun listening to my raw captures of the blue box with headphones, and on closer inspection they just don't sound all that great. Apparently something in my system is causing a nasty and constant hum as soon as the needle hits the record. It's not immediately detectable when listening through speakers at moderate listening volume, but VERY noticeable and annoying when using headphones. I don't feel that it's worth working with these files. If I can find out what the problem is as well as a solution to it I'd be happy to take this project up again at some point. Can't help feeling the problem could be my turntable though, so that could take a while.

Sorry I couldn't deliver after all.

No worries! I appreciate the effort!!!

If these are what you’re looking for I will (eventually) transfer them. I can only do them in 16/44. Also, I’m not overly proficient with audacity. I’m very out of practice transferring vinyl. I enjoyed the Cool Edit Pro days of the early 2000s. So I will do transfers of the LPs if someone else will volunteer to take my raw files and clean them up where necessary and split them into tracks.

Who’s up for it?

1Y are the most interesting ones, soundwise!

I would love to have them exactly raw! It would be as if listening to the real vinyl!

I am interested in your rips too. I already have a collection of rips (my own, made on other people's equipment and not only), but I'm ready to consider your options and maybe replace something from my pile.
