I got the CD version mainly because of $$$. I'll likely never listen to the actual CDs, but I do love me some nice tDR packaging. Can't imagine the CDs are going to sound any better than the 24-bit WAVs. I also agree that splitting All End across sides of vinyl seems a little odd. But again, the actual physical manifestation of that is probably going to be pretty amazing. On Tue, Aug 14, 2018 at 11:47 AM Clint Anderson <clinta@gmail.com> wrote:
