I believe this mentality is a result of the "HD" marketing movement in which we all now believe we must own the best, most flawless, definitive edition of a piece of artwork. There is no written law that states you must only listen to vinyl or CD. So, remember that your choice of whether to listen to digital or analog does not have to be mutually exclusive. Less perfect, perhaps.Īnd then you know what? You get to jump in your car and effortlessly stream your favorite music from the smartphone in your pocket. there's no intrusive glow from an LCD screen to remind you of your technological advancement as a 21st century being. you begin to notice the weight and texture of the card stock on which it's printed. but you also don't get to sit back with a 12x12" illustration of your favorite album's artwork in your hand. Sure, you don't need to care for, clean and physically store a digital file (well, you kinda do). For some, the incredible convenience of digital music began to detract from the overall experience of what it once meant to participate in the act of listening to music. The vinyl resurgence appears to be a response to the intangible mp3 experience. The post-CD digital world saw even more convenience. No longer did one have to rewind a tape, carefully drop a needle or struggle to skip to another song. I try to not get too caught up in the digital vs analog debate.ĬDs were so revolutionary at the time due to their incredible convenience and high audio quality. The King of Limbs 45 rpm Newspaper Edition – TheAmnesiacKid (yours truly) I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings – PBTHAL OK Computer – Rumored to be ripped from a positive vinyl “mother” master. If you are familiar with the Newspaper TKOL, I think you’ll appreciate the ID-3 album art on my rip ) If you are familiar with the Newspaper TKOL, I think you’ll appreciate the ID-3 album art on my rip ) | Megalinks MegaDB All files are 24-Bit / 96 kHz FLAC files and include ID-3 tag artwork. I am very pleased with the results.Īll files are 24-Bit / 96 kHz FLAC files and include ID-3 tag artwork. Just recorded at 24/96 WAV with audacity and then converted to 24/96 FLAC with dBpoweramp. Lastly, the TKOL included here is my personal rip. Where I couldn’t find PBTHAL, I found equal, if not superior quality, UK rips. I mainly searched for PBTHAL rips as his rips are original UK 1st pressings. So I hopped online and gathered UK pressings of all the studio albums and I Might Be Wrong: Live recordings. I mean… experience: The Capitol pressings are garbage, Parlophones (in good shape) are excellent and the 2016 XL pressings are, for the most part, excellent as well… By and large, original UK pressings/Parlophones are what you want if given the option. So, what I’ve learned in my addiction… errr…. This is to qualify as a listener who is concerned with acquiring the best sounding pressings possible (I shit you not, I’ve owned 8 different copies of Kid A on vinyl before finally acquiring, what I consider to be, sonic-bliss). I own multiple copies of every Radiohead album on vinyl: 1st or 2nd pressings of all the Parlophone albums, many original 7” and 12” Parlophone singles, the 45rpm In Rainbows diskbox, the 45 rpm TKOL, the deluxe editions of both A Moon Shaped Pool and OKNOTOK… And then I own all the 2016-2017 XL reissues (These are the ones I’m able to toss on the turntable without becoming consumed with dread at the possibility that I might damage something as I put the record away in its sleeve)… And, of course, I’ve owned Capitol pressings in the past but have traded all of those in. I was very pleased with the result and decided to delve into vinyl rips online.Ī little back story… I am an incredibly obsessive Radiohead nut and a collector in the truly addicted sense of the word. Then for shits and gigs I decided to rip the 45rpm 2x10” clear vinyl “Newspaper Edition” of The King of Limbs to my PC. I was initially uninterested in gathering and uploading vinyl rips as I prefer to listen to my wax on the turntable. So, I’ve had many requests for Hi-Res vinyl rips of Radiohead’s discography.
