I'm glad to have the chance to grab some more of your Zappa rips. Your rip of the YCDTOSA Sampler is excellent and was on heavy rotation in the past months. Thank you very much!

Essential: The Man from Utopia, Orchestral Favorites, Guitar (maybe)

TMfU is the most important, as its original mix is unavailable on CD.

Had to wait a few days for these. I'm sure they will be worth it. Thanks, my Zappa vinyl collection is looking pretty good. I got a chance to hear BPGD a few months ago. A very good rip, especially enjoyed Mo 'N Herb.

Hey, 86ed? I know these rips are old and all (caveat emptor yeah yeah), but I just want to point out a problem patch with The Man from Utopia, specifically "Moggio". There's a really bad problem with the moog in the first section from 0:29 to 0:32, so instead of the synth horns being smooooth, it's just really scratchy. Just want to let you know.

And at around 0:52 and 1:28 and 2:03 (really bad one), there's a very noticeable skip. And another scratchy moog thing at 1:13, ... ah, shoot, I feel like a real jerk now, pointing this out.

It's a real shame, too, as otherwise, your rip is just the best out there. I know this gets said a lot, but your rip actually sounds like it's from the digital master itself (you can't tell that this is from vinyl)!!

Wow, thanks so much for replying so fast with a fix! Checking your Avax page, I don't see a mention of a Moggio problem/fix anywhere. Guessing it was either in the RS link list (now defunct) or this is the first time we've had access to it!! :grin:

But seriously, thanks so much for posting this.
