******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Between 2003 and 2009 I corresponded via email with Bob T. the man behind the audio work of the MILLENNIUM REMASTERS project. Over the course of those years I purchased all of his Beatles / solo transfers in addition to the Rolling Stones MFSL and Bob Dylan Sundazed mono sets plus some other odds and ends.
I will be liberating this collection and sharing it here. It will take some time because I am ripping with EAC in secure mode, manually tagging each ripped disc and adding detailed notes with each one. And also because life is hectic.
I have nice scans of most of the catalog from the massive Beatles bootleg artwork collection. I will also photograph each set of discs to show the visual presentation as produced by MILLENNIUM REMASTERS. Some of the later transfers did not include artwork.
*A note to Bob T. if he ever visits this board, please send a PM and say hello, it’s been a long time. Still enjoying all the hard work you put into these!
The Millennium Remasters manifesto:
MILLENNIUM REMASTERS is (was) an ongoing project dedicated to transferring rare, audiophile, mono and stereo, LPs to the CD format. Most sources are audiophile quality, un-played LPs to insure the cleanest possible end result.
Each recording is hand de-clicked (if and when necessary) as opposed to any overall sound
reprocessing which generally leaves tell tale signs in the recording. The turntable used was a LINN SONDEK LP 12 with a MICRO BENZ cartridge and a LINN LK phono preamp."
All recordings are analog to digital transfers mastered in full 24-bit.
All discs ripped and fully tagged by cliftdean74 from original MILLENNIUM REMASTERS Taiyo Yuden CD-R's with EAC (Secure Mode)
