Paul Magnussen -> Sabicas on MP3 (Aug. 5 2011 20:34:07)
|
You may have noticed that, after a couple of decades of neglect, Sabas’s albums have started to appear on MP3; several being available in that form but not yet on CD. Two such are Gypsy Flamenco and Flamenco Virtuoso, are the subjects of my post, with which I should like to request your help. I have the original LPs, and both are stereo with good separation. However, the music samples on Amazon appear to be mono. I’m pretty sure the problem isn’t my computer system, because the samples for The Art of the Guitar come out properly in stereo. Of course, it’s possible that the samples have been mixed down to mono, but the actual MP3s are stereo. So I wrote to Amazon to ask. This was this response: “Our technical department has reviewed both of the albums, Flamenco virtuoso and Gypsy Flamenco. They have confirmed that the samples and tracks for these albums are in stereo.” So, before I accuse Amazon of lying: a) Has anyone actually bought either of these albums or tracks therefrom? And b) Does anyone think the samples are stereo? http://www.amazon.com/Gypsy-Flamenco/dp/B00491PYE8/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1312576163&sr=1-25 http://www.amazon.com/Flamenco-virtuoso/dp/B0051QBFWU/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1312576163&sr=1-30
