I wore out my tape copy, which initially sounded fine, but every digital transfer I've heard, whether CD, mp3, or streaming, etc, has lacked definition and top end. This is a real shame given the amount of glorious PPG wave 2 to be had. Should we Kickstarter a project to break into the vaults and liberate the tape?
