i hope you haven't decided to call it a day, porter-eq! rather sad to see such quality rips without any feedback, really! these are tremendous treasures - you should go out and blow the horn - i put you on my bloglist, though...
cheers, lucky
Lucky -- thanks for the listing. I'm far from finished, just getting to these in fits and spurts. I appreciate the feedback, glad you are enjoying these transfers.
i'm glad to hear that!
to be honest, i convert your hi-fi rips to 1411-flacs to save some space - i don't have the equipment to hear a difference, really.
greetings,
lucky
Was an interesting album in the 80s, and it has withstood the test of time quite well. Thank you!
