Again in Apple Lossless so it would fit on a free file sharing service
The remastered original White Room OST sourced from one of ten lossless masters plus five lossless sourced bonus tracks (and maybe a hidden one in there). All of the bonuses relate to the main album, two sourced from the KSTJ single, one from a 1989 DJ remix CD comp (The Build a Fire mix that has a lot of extra Bill vocals, better than a standard remix IMO), one from "Ultra Rare Tracks" bootleg, The extended KSTJ, truth be told I tried making a better rip from my KSTJ 12" but couldn't get a better rip than what's on this boot) and the last from an earlier White Room boot that was probably sourced originally from vinyl but sounds excellent. I was one of the lucky 10 to receive a lossless copy of the remaster from Simon. A remastered JAMs LP to follow tomorrow!

Subject: [KLF] 'Remaster' of unreleased White Room OST
The unreleased White Room OST has just been 'remastered'. The source tape
used was one that is far superior to any previously heard copy. It was
taken directly from an original promo copy - so it's probably only 2
generations away from the master.
The tape was sampled in 24bits at 96KHz and all audio processing was carried
out in this format for optimum quality before being converted to the
standard CD format. The correct stereo orientation and running speed was
ascertained from an original copy of the KSTJ CD single and noise reduction
was applied sparingly to reduce the slight hiss present on the source tape.
The results are absolutely outstanding - probably as good as what a
commercial copy might have sounded like. This version has none of the
faults present in existing copies - there are no glitches in 'No More Tears'
and 'The White Room', the end of 'Born Free' is intact and there are no
clicks and pops at the end of tracks.
This needs to be heard by everyone on the list! If you want one and are
prepared to make it available to other list members (and preferably you live
in the UK) - please get in touch with me off the list. There are 10 copies
complete with artwork, 8 of which are remaining.
