I am ready to download the high-res files. They know Friday nights are rock music nights for me, and held off the release for me.

I bought all three downloads today at 15% off, and five other albums last night at 20% off. Now I am enjoying the fruits of my labor.

I picked up the remaster of Physical Graffiti on CD and compared it to a much older 'original' CD release.
I actually prefer the older CD release.
The new remaster is louder & brighter. Good for low volume listening while dusting in the living room or folding towels from the dryer.
The original is for scaring the neighbors and cold beer.....imho, of course.

Try the Hi Res download of II which is all I can comment about.
There is a reason all those vinyls and CDs of II showed up at
the music exchanges. -
I don't do downloads.....yet....

Maybe...but the more I play the remaster game the more I come back to original releases for ultimate satisfaction (some CD releases the exception).

I agree both physical graffiti and houses of the holy to me seem that way. -

Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

I order the Japanese copies because the CD's come in sleaves instead of just being slid into the cardboard slipcovers unprotected (leading to scratching, in my experience).

Exactly my sentiments the cardboard sleeves suck. I put both of the ones from ITTOD in a thin jewel case to prevent them from getting scratched, once again the retro packaging is pretty cool though.Home Theater
