Being fat and HEAVY is one category; being BIG (or in my case - the biggest) is completely different category. :) You must first learn your lessons, and then talk to strangers.
MP3 is not a bad thing and doesn't need to be heard on anything other than a decent set of headphones. How do you think the zoners decided what they thought on the 2001 remasters? From MP3's posted by Rien. Most headphones can represent things fine.
Tinny is unfair to the file I posted. I checked on 2 different pairs of speakers, studio and computer as well as headphones and it sounded fine. Tinny? Definitely not.
You're right on the pitch thing. I forgot that all the frequencies would be different at the hi-end. However, after bringing to the same pitch as the FM set version, it still sounds better! Surprising to me, I assure you.
Btw, I've been listening to the FM set version since 2002. I haven't listened to the Nuce version since I got the set! So, trust me when I say there's no listening bias. But it's strange how I still remember that I liked the Nuce version. Curious... This thread has awoken that old feeling for the Nuce one.
Now, I realise that the Nuce version is not the best quality and I will remedy this by cleaning it up and presenting it here as a free download. A definitive version. I've already played around with the tools needed and it sounds brilliant!
I'll restore the pitch and speed, clean the clicks/pops and will remaster it. I really feel impassioned to do this. Sometime over the next few days or couple of weeks and I'll get this done.
Btw, if they had the studio tape, why did it come out the way it did? Seriously.
Peace,
Adam.
