Does anyone have the following in lossless. Cabaret Voltaire - Don't Argue (John Robbie) 7" - 3:12
Not sure if it ever appeared on any compilations, couldn't find it. Was released in 1987 vinyl. Would save me some effort in editing a new one from the extended Robbie release on Original of Sheffield, which may still be the better option as opposed to a poor vinyl transfer?

don't argue (who's arguing) which is by far the best mix of it compared
to the crappy soul sounding ones..

Never Mind, Done!!!

Well, well, you learn something new every day. Was messing around on the audiophile forums and came across a thread on OOP redbook titles at Pono Music. I thought let's check it out. Sure enough there was the Cabaret Voltaire redbook release of Don't Argue 7' + 12" into an EP that was released in 2009 on ITunes in 256Kbps, never on CD. So I thought right away maybe it was upsampled. Bought the release, loaded it into RX3 spectrogram. Perfectly fine redbook. Sounds good. Is it as good as my 6 hour tedious remake from the 12inch remastered Sheffield release? Close, just a different mastering.

What a deal for $4.59

thanks for pointing it out, there's quite a few other groups and tracks there.

although you can't always buy single tracks though, only albums at times.

also, their website is painful to use, and i had numerous problems registering, and not being able to set up an account.

their downloading program is pretty bloated too.

a huge hassle, just to get some tracks.
