I have the original 12" of "Yello - XS-[first-ever-version]" which I can digitize via my Linn Sondek (High Quality) turntable and even Flac it (Lossless Audio Codec). I'm even prepared to share it via my FTP server. However, I do neet to renew my stylus for optimum quality; currently looking for a quality replacement. I also have some of the other early 12"....
PS: I just checked, I ripped this track some time ago (along with a bunch of other 12" by Yello), I also still have the original .wav file which sounds fine. I'm prepared to share it however it suits the group.
FANTASTIC!!!! Your private ftp solution sounds fine, you are the offering party, you get to choose your venue, of course. I am more than happy to brunt the creation, posting, and seeding of torrents for each file. I suggested FLAC only because it is widely supported and immensely reduces filesize. THANK YOU for your fine offer! I look forward with great anticipation to your shares! Okay, enough with all the exclamation points already. Here's a list of the vinyl I have ripped: 37M yello_bimbo-[ralph-records-yl-8058-s] 169M yello_bostich_hardcore-techno-remixes-[ltd-ed-yellow-vinyl-ffrr-162-350-005-1] 91M yello_bostich-[stiff-records-tees-12-10] 234M yello_jungle-bill_the-andrew-weatherall-mixes-[mercury-records-mrxx-376] 253M yello_of-course-i'm-lying-[mercury-records-yello-312+yello-322] 87M yello_oh-yeah_[mercury-records-884-930-1---258817] 111M yello_shirley-bassey---the-rhythm-divine-[mercury-records-merx-253] 188M yello_the-race-[heat-1]_ltd-ed-dj-only-[mercury-records-pro-744-1] 130M yello_tied-up-[ltd-ed-promo-dj-only]-[mercury-records-pro-768-1] 207M yello_unbelievable-[theme-from-ford-fairlane]-[elektra-records-0-66611] 102M yello_ygsytae-12-inch-disco-mix-[stiff-records-tees-12-12] Filesized include FLACs only. I have been very busy and lazy, and have never stitched together and fixed up the scans I made. I can get off my arse and clean these up, TAR them, torrent them, and post them. If anyone's interested, that is, in any of these. I apologize in advance for the return of the abuse of the exclamation points... I AM SO STINKING EXCITED FOR THE RE-RELEASES!!!!!!!! Oh, how I hope that all these rare tracks will be included!!! In other news, the Cocteau Twins 4AD releases were all remastered and re-released back in 2003. No new tracks were released [well, the Cocteaus weren't a b-side / xtra track type of band], but the improvements were significant. Liking this trend! --gcr
