Request: Cabaret Voltaire - Don't Argue 7"

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?

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.
