Ok here's another one that has eluded me for years. I was wondering if anyone has (or can direct me to) a high quality rip of this:

https://www.discogs.com/release/2521251-Reward-Strangers-This-Time

I have a decent sounding lossy and compressed copy of this, just hoping to replace it with a better one... Thanks again in advance

I'm missing it too. I know the "Burning the Ground" blogger posted it on 2 flac rips (16/44 and 24/96), but as I'm a unlucky man when I search anything, the links always are broken. Both links were broken. Today, only it's possible to listen up via the shit of Youtube channel. Nothing can be found somewhere else (like Myspace, Spotfy or another acceptable platform). Now, I need to be more clever. Inattentive individuals always got screwed in world.

I don't have this, but I could not find it on BTG. I even went through archive.org - since BTG has posted releases which are not listed on the current Search By Artist - and did not find it on a quick look. Any idea when it was posted there?

And why don't you write to Paul (owner of BTG), make a small donation, ask him to upload it again and stop whining? :|

I follow Paul since he had his site on blogspot and as far as I know he never uploaded that band.

Alright, here's what I have:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z7iiNgGraDMAaXdEGLN06Ri84v6B5sLf/view?usp=sharing

If anyone has any trouble accessing the file, please let me know, it's the first time I've tried Google Drive. And no, I didn't get it at BTG, I almost certainly got it off some sort of music blog post in early 2011 judging from where I found it in my archive, but I really don't remember.

The BTG owner have removed very old postings where the links were dead. When I requested reupload, he deleted the posting. And he told me he's no patient to reupload the broken links anymore.

Thanks for that Uvox. Sadly, upon casual listening I am 95% sure that the track included in the collection and the track I have are from the same source - I simply edited mine to the proper length and rebalanced the sound. I'm still hoping there is a better quality rip out there.

Thanks, but the quality is same of web unfortunately. It was picked up from Youtube channel too. The audio quality have not bass frequence. If it had been one ripped 128 mp3 from vinyl directly, the audio should have bass frequence. This is reason I hating extracted songs from videos and I only accepting original rips from vinyl, CD or k7. Because them become a dead audio and with noise when picked up from online videos (Youtube and other video platforms).

I wonder, what hi-end equipment is owned by our dear school teacher from Angola, to let him hear all the finest peculiarities of a sound file???? No insult, just of curiosity))
