Note: (March 29, 2008) This is a completely new transfer that was done after learning that the first 24-bit version of this LP was not true 24-bit audio. To those who have downloaded the first version I apologize for the inconvenience of having to download this a second time. Please discard the previous 24-bit version. Thanks for your patience. -DLedin
I can hear it now: "Who needs another version of All Things Must Pass"?
This needledrop, using a superb set of Toshiba red vinyl LPs, is worth a listen. I also encourage those interested to compare this vinyl transfer to another vinyl version of this LP.
As some of you may know, Dr. Ebbetts released this title in 2006 sourced from a U.S. pressing. It was very positively received and deservedly so. I have the original Ebbetts discs of this release myself and have kept them close by throughout my transfer of this Japanese red wax version. I'll just say this: The Japanese/Toshiba red vinyl sounds different than the U.S. vinyl. Give it a listen.
This is my first hands-on experience working with Toshiba red vinyl and I'm very impressed with how quiet this stuff is. I'd love to get my hands on more.
The setup used is as follows: -Technics SL-1900 direct drive turntable running an Ortofon Super OM-20 cartridge. -JVC AX-R97 integrated amp -Hoontech/Soundtrack Audio DSP24 Value sound card
The signal was imported into Adobe Audition at 96kHz/32-bit (float). I removed what few pops & clicks there were via the Audition pop/click removal tool used manually. No EQ or N/R has been added. When the audio was ready, it was converted to 24-bit wav files and then encoded to FLAC.
This transfer has been configured over two discs in the same fashion as the DESS release. In fact, I also borrowed Doc's artwork and have modified it to reflect the differences between the US & Toshiba versions. |
