Hi,

Does anyone have this instrumental in lossless (WAV, FLAC, AIFF) that they can please share?

Any interest in an MP3/320/DR12 to use as a placeholder til a
lossless file comes along?

Yes, MP3 would be ok for a placeholder. Thanks buddy.

Yikes. Unreleased for a reason... this instrumental is no better than the kind of results you'd get from a vocal removal algorithm or an AI-based stems creator. Better than nothing, maybe, but I think it depends on how drunk your audience is.

Aside from MP3 encoding artifacts, it has phase issues, and the hi-hats and claps are smeared and distant. There's also a loud bass synth note on the 1s and 3s in the vocal sections that shouldn't be there; maybe it's a scratch or guide track for the vocalist.

Oh geez, I missed the mp3 upload. Would you mind re-uploading? Sorry for the extra work. Thanks.

@PKPN

Thanks for taking the time to analyse my measley little 6mb mp3 file.
Your unsolicited critique is a tad too ocd for me personally, but others may
find it of value.


@sean

Here is the file again, because you asked so graciously (and to
spite PKPN, of course.)

Thanks much buddy.

There is a much cleaner version posted at Missing Hits Website.. http://magicjuanm7.blogspot.com/2022/03/men-without-hats-safety-dance.html

Thanks Freshy.

Yes, it wouldnt be any worse than creating your own using something like iZotope RX 9 .

The link that freshy provided seems about the best around.
