Well, if you were selling it for more what it went for on release, which was still a pretty good chunk of change, I might be interested in buying it. I believe it was more like 350. If so, send me an email, I think its on my profile.
thanks

Original digital download was average DR10. (DR varied in 9 (a few last songs) - 11 (Angie) range)Quote

My two cents:
The new deluxe Brussels Affair comes either on 2 LP‘s, or 1 CD.
On The (expensive) Box edition it came on 3 LP‘s, spread over 5 sides, and 2 CD‘s.
On the 3 LP edition which came together with the Marquee 2 LP‘s, the songs were spread over six sides.
This fact could have consequenses for the DR numbers. I can‘t find anything about the various editions DR numbers on the net, but i‘ve read somewhere that between the early download and the various CD editons there were pretty huge differences..
So: the huge box could be of interest....

Japanese WARD CD1 was average DR7 (all songs but Angie, this one was DR8)
Japanese WARD CD2 was average DR6 (with the last songs with DR5)
For CDs there was no obvious reason to 'fix' digital content to DR6-7. Timing of CD1 is 36:44, CD2 - 42:52. Actually, digital download perfectly fits a single CD (redbook CDDA format allows 80 min. w/o overburn). Thus, additional compression is a result of Stephen Marcussen mastering.

Everything was analyzed long ago.

For Brown Sugar: The announcer opening and song are the same as the original KBFH broadcast with remix.
This is applied for all formats - digital download, CDs and LPs.

Apparently, bootleg Red Tongue Records RTR-015 was made directly from digital download. I have no information about official editions, never heard of needledrop for those LPs. Mind, that the box discussed here was really expensive and WARD Marquee/Brussels version was ~$250 before S&H, proxy services and related import taxes. Hardly believe needledrop was ever shared. I think most of those are hold by collectors still sealed in air-conditioned safes and never played .
