Is there a "real" rip of the Canadian mono "Twist and Shout" album out there anywhere?
I've downloaded several versions of it that sound different and look different from each other... :roll:

My 2 supposed rips of Ebbetts releases of that album are different, yet Twist And Shout is clearly based on the 1987 PPM CD on both.

I recall wondering why Ebbett's tops and tails were so clean... I always check that stuff you know ;-)

Needledrops are usually pretty obvious in those quiet areas.

It seems like we're ripping open the wizard's curtain...."Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! The Great OZ has spoken!"

Do we really want to see what's behind there?

Too late now.

So are you able to upload a bona fide genuine mono Ebbetts version of "Oldies" please?

That's okay. I'll hear it someday. It's probably not revelatory.

While pruning my Ebbetts I came across this text file from a copy somebody posted somewhere in 2008. Note the mistaken artwork sent to a customer (last sentence at bottom)...

BTW, if anyone has an alternate source of the MFSL Japanese half-speed masters not by DESS, please advise. There are some on the Sucker but seem too clean (tops and tails), even DESS's have vinyl rumble.

"Artist: The Beatles
Title: Help! (1965)
Catalog Number: MFSL-1-105

Linage: Original Silver CDR>EAC uncompressed copies>TLH FLAC Level 8 Decodes>TLH testing - no errors found.

This is a Doctor Ebbetts 2008 upgrade of Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs Half-speed mastered Japanese pressed vinyl using high-end recording
equipment and the best sources of vinyl in pristine/mint condition. Artwork is included in 300DPI scans.

...

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ARTWORK: The booklet inside scan is not included because the copy I received from the Doc was in error (wrong artwork printed). I will post the corrected artwork for this torrent on a seperate torrent (artwork only) when a replacement insert is received."
