I know, not full HD. Bit still. Worth a look.
Also, maybe not exactly a “best of”, but sure does cover a lot of musical ground.
Presto Music continually has sales.Worth keeping an eye on them too.
Happy listening!

I noticed the same price. Maybe it was a sale that ended.

The $33.50 price was valid until 12 June. The sale was stated as “get CD quality for the price of MP3”. We need a “get Hi Rez (for me, that’s at least 24-96) for the price of CD quality”.

Full listing of the Decca albums should be here:
Decca - Hi-Res Downloads at MP3 Prices
Special offer ends: 12/06/2024
But yes, CD quality not full HD for the album that I posted:
Info from the page of the link listed in my first related post.
MP3 $24.00
FLAC (CD quality, 44.1 kHz, 16 bit) ($32.25) Reduced price $24.00
I will assume that the sale is to the end of the day, in the UK, on June 11.
So should still be couple days left.
Also I wonder and I am not aware if the sales are regional?
Or for registered members?
Hopefully you can sort it out.
Includes a Fathers Day special…

Yes, released on SACD in Japan on the 25th. . . I have copies of the three SHM-SACDs on the way to me.
This is great music.

Nice find, but I wish for all the selections they’d identify the native capture format/resolution.
Hi tony22
Based on the age of the original recordings (circa late 50s or 60s) it’s a safe bet they were mastered and captured on analogue tape.

I guess I was less than clear. I meant the capture to digital.
