Any other thoughts on the audio quality on this vinyl release?

Fashionably late as ever, I find myself asking: What was the verdict on the vinyl?

I've only listened to the vinyl once. I had no complaints, it sounded great, but I don't think it added anything that a mint original doesn't have. The box is wonderful and it's useful to be able to buy all-analogue reissues of the album and singles but, unlike the F&L&A remaster, it's not essential if you already own mint originals. The Mobile Fidelity Floodland is essential, however.

Cool.
Cheers for that.

is there a downloadable hi-res copy of this anywhere, as per the FALAA reissue? seeing as the band aren't going to profit from it i have no problem with stealing it. home-taping didnt kill music and nor will its more advanced modern counterpart.

The less sales Rhino receives, the less inclination there is for them to reissue further Sisters material. They did a stellar job sourcing original analogue parts for this reissue and creating fresh digital transfers for the high-resolution download. It would be a shame for them to shelve potential projects based on poor sales.

i totally agree but they wont get my money either way. i simply dont have disposable income sufficient, not when half my money goes on travelling to see my son once a month. it doesnt matter, there are plenty of people i can get them from i'm sure.
and after all, even a year down the line a brand new copy would most likely be bought through a 3rd party on ebay or whatever so evn if i won the lottery and bought it red rhino wouldn't get a penny extra.

EDIT: seriously? those links dont even enable me to buy it and own it -just pay to download the music?? no nedia? no packaging? f**k them if thats their idea of a deal- no wonder piracy is rife.

thanks anyway Bob.

Just to add - I find it a shame that they added only low res downloads to the vinyl versions ... phh ... ...

You did ask for a downloadable high-res copy...

I'm guessing the logic there is that if you have the vinyls, you have the hi-res audio in a physical form.
Typically, portable players would, given disc space limitations, utilise the lower res files.

At last, i manage to get my copy of this
I feel so happy
