FACTS
Thank you so much for this upload, just a shame that there's so much wow in the original tape.
digital music has cut us off from these tones
Analog to digital That shit was pitiful
Red Herring I just yesterday read an article on Quora explaining why analog is superior to digital. Your comment also reminds me of when Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson had to shorten the length of the "Thriller" album, because it was too long (couldn't fit into the album, causing sound distortion). I've also personally noticed that wooden stereo players sound FAR superior to CD's or mp3's; I used to record songs from the radio to my mother's stereo & they sounded fantastic.
Thank you so much for uploading this
Very interested & nice 👏 👏
