remasters 2011 Royal Orb

Wiki, I feel like we are at Khan Al-Khalili market in Cairo.
Your last offer: "most of this release was sourced from 44.1/16 DATs, so it is definitely upsampled" is ridiculous.
Try to support this claim somehow (by an article or a spectrum graph) and maybe I'll buy it.

A spectrum graph of Session 3 tracks would be interesting.
The link below states they are from a 48kHz 16bit master copy source.

Indeed the 4 songs from session 3 display a cut above 22 kHz (while the other 20 songs don't).
Not enough to say that "most of this release was sourced from 44.1/16 DATs, so it is definitely upsampled".
Thank you Kurgan.

Sorry, aristide1. Not getting too much sleep here lately (not in Egypt, but in the middle of Argentina). My answer should have said:

EDIT: However, Session 3 from this release was sourced from 48/16 safety DATs, so it is definetely upsampled (and in agreement with my original claim that *part* of On Air was upsampled).

I said the same of the Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack, that had a couple of digitally sourced tracks. By the way, I am not claiming that the said websites are scamming people. They just offer what they have, and they inform potential buyers, so it's OK.

Kurgan: Thank God It's Christmas' stereo master is a 1/4" tape. Although the production masters for The Works were digital, they kept the flat stereo mixes for all of The Works stuff as it was mixed analogically.

I'll re-phrase my question then, what was the source for "Thank God It's Christmas" used on the SACD release?

I wasn't aware TGIC was released on SACD!

That said, the 2011 remaster of TGIC is sourced from the 1/4" master tape, so any high resolution release would be taken from that.

*double post*

(Internet here is cr*p!)

Sorry Wilki, I was under the illusion The Platinum Collection had an SACD release, no wonder I couldn't find it!

That's funny, I thought GH3 was on SACD too.

Mandela Effect?

It's a shame it's not real gold!

No shit.

Yes, but the music contained within however is pure gold.
Also "The Orb" contains a gallery of many (some uncirculated) photographs.
