Paris 1970 boot source question

interesting

So, I messaged the seller asking for more details on the source and this is the response I received:

“Hi There, from what I understand from the label, it's a new source that has been remastered and restored. I can't verify that as I am not too sure about the other available versions of this out there! All the best!”

"New source" could just mean freshly lifted from here or elsewhere and pressed up on silvers for the first time.

"restored"... this is JFE's work

[lennyif]

Snagged one on the off chance that it was new, but it sounds like JFE's work with a TON of noise reduction added. Avoid.

Jesus, still slathering boots with lots of NR huh? That's so 2006 lol. Anyway, thanks for taking the chance on this!

On a completely different subject, has Sigma gone under or did I miss something?

[buffalofloyd]

Hey aybesea. I get why Sigma takes a lot of heat, and I agree with most of it. Would it be better if they didn't exist? Maybe, in a perfect world. Since I can't do anything about it and that will likely never happen, I do appreciate the releases they do actual work on, like combining sources to complete shows, speed corrections, the occasional new source, stuff like that. I absolutely do not condone just ripping off a release from here, converting it to redbook, maybe pump the gain a little, then sell it. I don't really have any time for those releases, nor do I actually buy any of these. Just by 2 cents.

[aybesea]

buffalofloyd, I get it and I'm down with it. Like you said, in a perfect world...

[buffalofloyd]

Hehe, wasn't trying to be preachy. I was actually agreeing with you
