No, they are holding that back until the physical release, but you will receive the files on release day, whenever that may be at this point.

numanoid Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Are the remasters available to purchase anywhere or can you only get them with a download code from the vinyl box? These all needed new digital transfers so I’m glad it finally happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnified is greatly improved in mix and sounds better, more lush and textured... listening to "Wonderful Life" atm... which is my personal favorite on the album. Curious why they didn't send out 24bit files, the download is 16bit. Are they lossless or mp3? I wouldn’t get to wrapped up in them being inly 16bit. Modern 16bit files from 24bit transfers will sound much better than 16bit from the 90s. The quality of the source material, in this case the original masters, and the digital converters will make all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The download I received had both FLAC and MP3, however the FLAC were released as 44.1 kHz, 16 bit files. They sound incredible, but I do wish he released them as 48 kHz, 24 bit files. They're worth it though considering the huge improvement made for Comfort and Magnified. numanoid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, 16/44.1 is a relic, more so the 44.1 part. 16/48 or 24/48 should be the new de-facto digital standards. im glad they sound good! I’m gonna grab the remasters for sure. Thanks for your input.

Well they have the signed one still. And if you don’t to pay the extra for the signature you can ask if they’ll take some rubbing alcohol to the signature and sell it to you for regular price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They undoubtedly offered more signed copies than unsigned - just like their tour posters at the shows. I am also kinda regretting not getting the box - although I do have the OPs for all three already.

Vinyl Fury Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Got mine today. Turned out great. Some of the cleanest vinyl I've seen from GZ. Are we sure that digital downloads of the bonus material will be made available now that they are out, or is this going to be exclusive to the vinyl release? The wording in the announcement email wasn't super clear ... 'This does not include the outtakes from the Boxset, as we’d like to keep something special for the official release'.

Reply to your shipment notification email from Hello Merch and ask for your download of the Outtakes and Oddities LP and you should get it. Specify if you want FLAC or MP3.

cemeterytapes Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Got mine, really nice package - just wish it came with poly lined inner sleeves. Mine were really static charged and I put a couple hairline scratches on the records just taking them out of the sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was concerned that both discs for Magnified are warped but my turntable didn't protest. I was really pleased and didn't realize / forgot that Magnified is on 2 LPs, which suits it well. I do really appreciate the Comfort remix, sounds better without getting too Special Editions about it.

UrBoyBangs Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 My copy of Fantastic Planet has defects on sides B and D. I emailed them and really hoping I can get it swapped out. Shitty if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
