I’m going to pick up one of the box set versions available, or Digi download.
but that is the issue: which one?
IS THERE A 24/192 DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ANYWHERE.
not the first time I’ve grappled with this question, but when I am throwing down over $100,
i though i’d Ask what the other blokes do?
Box Set Options for TROUBLE NO MORE BOOTLEG #13
1. 8 CD + DVD, $120. 16/44
2. 8 CD + DVD + Bonus w 2 CDs, w Live albums from 1979, San Diego, I think, $175, 16/44
3. 4 LP American Release, $100
4. 4 LP European Release, plus 2 CDs, $ 150
5. Digi Download, at Acoustic Sounds, hires is only 24/44; HAS THE CONTENT OF THE FIRST 8 CDs,
but only 24/44 hires, $ 125?
6. Digi Download, at HD TRACKS, hires 24/96, also HAS THE CONTENT OF THE FIRST 8 CDs,
$135 or so
Pros/Cons:
. i do prefer vinyl, but the 4 LPs wouldn’t cover all the material of 8 CDs.
. The SQ of some of the CDs doesn’t look too good, I’m sure due to recording in alive venues,
i will try to post a pic from the website “loudness wars”, where users assess. Then post SQ results from CDs. See the Link below for ratings.
http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=Bob%20Dylan . But CDs are convenient, and LPs are not, can’t play em in the car
. I prefer the highest Res, no 24/192 ? I imagine they can make it 24/192, but will release later to max profits.
. In the future reference, I hope to transfer my vinyl to cd/digital, so I can listen to higher SQ on the road.
What do the rest of you do? For Any Box Set Options like this?
Not just for this Dylan album, since we now commonly see BOX SETS out now with a variety of formats (cd, Digi, lp, combinations of the above, etc).
Thx
