Readme Audiophile & Vinyl Lovers
Vinyl lovers
In my blog you will find many treasures either from my collection or from various good will contributors. Here you'll get rare and highly sought vinyls in high quality (16 bit/44 KHz), we enjoy rescuing many albums that marked us in the past and are currently irreplaceable.

Audiophiles
As I said before, I only post in this section for vinyls. I don't pretend to compete with the music industry, as there are already great technologies around, such as Blue-Ray DVD, Mobile-Fidelity, SACD, Studio Master, etc. I'm very picky about good sound, but if there is one of these technologies already available, I step aside and let the stage to expert audio engineers and their proven products. In my posts you will find my rips in the format: Single FLAC + Vinyl LOG + CUE file

Images and Album art (for everybody)
This is a very sensitive issue for me, as I think that album art is as important as the audio itself. In this issue, I try very hard to compete with the industry that actually killed the wonderful vinyl album art. In my opinion, not even audiophile reissues have managed to overcome the old and incredible vinyl album art. In my posts, you'll find 100% high quality album art, with all the extra material that CD and DVD formats have deprived us: gatefold covers, inserts, booklets and labels, all scanned at real size (1:1) and 300 dpi. For this purpose I use scanned images and not photographs due to the latter poor visual results: brightness and image distortion, color range changes. Additionally, I design CD front and back covers trying to maintain the original vinyl art concept.

Spanish
Amantes de los vinilos y melómanos.
En mi blog se van a encontrar con muchos tesoros de mi propiedad y varios contribuyentes de buena voluntad. Vinilos raros y muy buscados en formato de excelente calidad para vinilo (16bit/44khz), nos entretenemos en rescatar infinidad de música que nos marcó un día y que es irremplazable.

Audiófilos
Como dije antes, publico en esta la única sección para "Vinilos". No pretendo competir con la industria discográfica, en que ya existe la gran tecnología DVD Blue-Ray, Mobile-Fidelity, SACD, Studio Master, etc. Soy muy exigente con el buen sonido; pero, cuando ya existen estas tecnologías me hago a un lado y dejo a los expertos ingenieros en sonido con sus ya probados productos. En mis publicaciones se van a encontrar con el modo de FLAC único + LOG de vinilo + CUE.

Imagen y carátulas (a todos)
Este es un tema muy sensible para mí: la imagen es tanto o más importante que el audio, y aquí sí compito con la industria que mató el arte de los vinilos: las maravillosas carátulas. Ni siquiera las reediciones para audiófilos han logrado superar a los antiguos vinilos y su increíble arte.
Con certeza digo que aquí en mis publicaciones, si encontrarás un 100% de calidad visual y con todo el material extra que nos privó la industria del CD o DVD (carátulas dobles, insertos, libretos y etiquetas, todas a tamaño real 1:1 en 300dpi). Para esto utilizo un escáner y no cámara fotográfica (por los pobres resultados visuales: brillos, deformación de imagen y cambio en el colorido). Además de rediseñar carátulas tamaño CD manteniendo su diseño de LP original.
Fran Solo, MMXI

The second work of the dutch group Trace "Birds". It is undeniable kinship with the legendary "Focus".
The present edition is U.S. Sire label, I except the following: the dutch edition (first published) has invested sides, ie side A is B and B is A ... I have never understood these changes I seem transcendent, it seems that logic is more direct pressing (the LP is called "Birds" therefore must begin with the music that corresponds to "Birds"), well, I do not speculate.
As for the cover, the Dutch Philips pressed the cover is pierced and the inner envelope containing the illustrations of birds. The USA edition is simple, is not cut.
This album I like a lot, keep all the strength and color-symphonic progressive. It has replaced the drummer Pierre Van Der Linden and also included a singer.

Spanish.
El segundo trabajo del grupo holandés Trace "Birds". Es innegable el parentezco con los legendarios "Focus".
Esta edición que presento es del sello Sire de USA, hago la salvedad por lo siguiente: la edición holandesa (primera publicación) tiene los lados invertidos, es decir el lado A es el B y el B es el A… nunca he entendido estos cambios que me parecen trascendentes, pareciera que la lógica del prensado es más directo (el LP se llama "Birds" por lo tanto hay que comenzar con la música que corresponde a "Birds"), en fin, no sigo especulando.
En cuanto a la carátula, el prensado Philips holandés la portada está troquelada y el sobre interior contiene las ilustraciones de los pájaros. La edición USA es sencilla, sin troquel.
Esste álbum me gusta y mucho, mantienen toda la fuerza y el color progresivo-sinfónico. Se ha reemplazado el baterista Pierre Van Der Linden y además se ha incluido un cantante.

Thank you Fran for sharing this great sounding symphonic-rock album of the Seventies!
Rick van der Linden was a real keyboard-virtuoso; below a "Youtube" preview of the album.
(perhaps this group is unknown to many people)
