all the copies i've seen of those have been really poor quality.  anyone
got
an a1 transcription of these, direct from their vinyl?

I transferred my vinyl onto CD-R through an Event Gina card, cleaned it
up in DART Pro and burned it onto CD-R. Sounds about as good as the
original, which isn't saying much, as the original isn't the
best-sounding 12" I've ever heard. Unfortunately, I noticed a small skip
in my transfer, which means I will have to redo it. It's barely
noticeable (I didn't catch it until after a few listens), and I can't
redo it, as one of my shelves collapsed taking my vinyl transfer setup
(Thorens deck and mixer) out of comission...

My MP3s of Twoism aren't the hottest, but don't sound all _that_ bad
either - I can't remember where I got'em, but I'm sure they're the ones
in circulations, probably the ones on BleepBloop... they're certainly
better than those awful copies of AB5 that were floating around (I got
vinyl xfers and they sound _so_ much better).

Honestly, I don't think that the original Twoism 12" is the paragon of
sound quality anyways... :) And while I was ready to drop the $120 it
was going at for a while, $325 is nuts... obviously auctions reflect
what the market will bear and all, it's just that... when I was going to
school, that's like $50 shy of two months' worth of rent!

Yep... ah well. It's rarer'n your grandma, so I suppose it carries the
price tag.
