It was time to upgrade the 10 albums in the two "Basic Rips" posts. They were older rips. All of them have been re-cleaned using the iZotope software. The clicks and noise that could not be removed by the original capture software, VinylStudio, have been repaired using iZotope without degrading the sound. VinylStudio, however, is still the bomb when it comes to the raw digitizing of vinyl LPs and separating them into tracks. The Basic Rips posts will be taken down to be replaced with this catch-up installment. The next installment in the "Remastered" series will have new albums.
The zip archive for each album contains: the audio files for each track in lossless FLAC format, with 24-bit samples @ 96 KHz, and also images of the front and back covers. No guarantee how long the links will be valid, so get them while you can.
These albums were remastered to have the best listening experience over loudspeakers.
