Hip-Oselect Rare Earth 3cd collection

Do you have EAC (Exact Audio Copy)? If so, can you post a picture of a wav or a few small soundclips.

I was looking at this tracklist closer and it's missing something else that I forgot about: the alternate mix w/added instruments (done in 1970) of "In Bed" that was on the b-side of a German 45. Really, if this box had been 4 cd's if could've encompassed 1968-1974 and everything they released during that period, including "Dreams Answers" (Verve).

 

Here is a waveform pic from post 37. I will try eo post a few more tomorrow.

 

Here are a few shots and EAC peak levels:

I took the plunge this week and I will be posting EAC values and pictures of wav files once I receive it.

 

Ok, I got it today and did a VERY BRIEF listen to some spots on Disc 1, comparing it to my Matousek-mastered "Get Ready/Ecology" two-fer from 1986.

Best news is that there's no noise-reduction. I can still hear some hiss. It is more compressed than the two-fer, but nothing that bothers ne too much, YMMV. It's not too harsh, either. I think the two-fer is overall better, but for me to get all the material in one package with decent sound, I'm pretty happy.

Here's a sample from "In Bed". The first part is the new one and the second is the two-fer. I did no level matching, but you will certainly know that when you hear it!

Thanks so much for doing this!!

 

No problem at all... let me know if you'd like any more samples and I'll see if I can get to them tonight.

 

I noticed this in a review over on RYM:

The only caveat here is many copies of this collection have a miscued version of the song "Magic Key" in the place of "Love Shines Down".

Anyone had a copy with this problem?
I've owned this set for quite some time and I don't recall any issues like that.... but then again, it's been quite a while since I listened to it last....

 

My set does not have this problem. "Love Shines Down" is on it's place on CD1.

 

Mine too.

 

Great news guys I was under the impression that the mistake was never corrected. Too late now.
