But only marginally, as we now sadly learn… the AAC hacks out almost everything above 16KHz. The 320kbps at one point in the file wasn’t representative at all.

Still don’t trust Napster much…

TOTP performance the first of many i am sure - note how Tragedy Rocks ramped up from 1000 plus on the Amazon chart to 133 in the space of 24 hours. They are advertising WRG as an EP with all tunes on it - is that a lie? I know I should buy one of each but I want Seichi on CD format. Go boys.

Liking the closeup version of the single cover — will have a proper listen to stuff later on. And try not to rant too much about formats in the review…
