Christmas In July 2007-Redux
If you're interested, here's an updated version of the 2007 version of The Best Of Christmas In July. I went through and dropped in any newer rips I may have had, as well as subbing in stereo for mono where possible. It's all about making the best sounding compilation I could put together. There's a text file in the download that specifies which files got changed, so have a look if you're curious. I kind of regret not saving things at full bitrate back in the day, but that's just the way it is, I can't change it now. I think things also just plain sound better as my skills and software have improved. ClickRepair made a huge difference in my music, and I don't think that came along until 2010 or 2011. Anyhow, if you're interested in hearing an updated version of this collection originally released in 2007, please download and give a listen to The Absolute Best Tracks From Ernie (Not Bert)'s Christmas In July 2007 Edition.

This shows you were posting the good stuff a long time ago!
ReplyDeleteI think there were a lot fewer high school and church choirs back in the day. I was able to grab all the low-hanging fruit in the early years, it's tougher now to find the undiscovered stuff. But I think I'll do OK this year. :) Discogs really helps sometimes.
