PERFEITO! Better than other rip.
Thnx!
Did you take this down? 🙁
I took the 24bit version down. 24bit files are now only available for seven days. Thanks
The jumped the shark album after the magnum opus blockbusters known as Destroyer from 1976 and Love Gun from 1977.
Dynasty isn’t that bad and disco was almost over by the time Kiss’ record producers told them to jump on the gravy train.
Anton Fig played drums on the album and the band’s original lineup was fractured beyond repair by this point.
My older brothers gave me all their KISS gear due to this album and I traded them for a Planet of the Apes jacket as a youngster!
Here’s a question, which I think you are probably very qualified to answer (without all the typical bullshit about spectrum analysis, etc.) : I understant there is technically no difference between a WAV and a standard FLAC file … both are lossless and essentially the same (FLAC is only algorithmically compressed without affecting the sound). My question refers to your standard FLAC vs. your 24 BIT FLAC. Is there a REAL difference that is truly perceptible to human ears? I don’t have super high-end stereo system, so to me they sound the same (in that both are absolutely perfect!). Is… Read more »
That is a hard one to answer and it is subjective. Personally, I prefer 24bit 96kHz because I feel like I can hear a difference because more information is in the file it is a bigger file so less compression. Some will argue that there is no difference. It really boils down to what you prefer and like. If you do a Google search I am sure you will find the same argument or maybe a better answer than I have given.
Thanks for the reply. I’ve read about it before, but I wanted to hear your feedback, since you seem to know a lot about it.
I can tell you one thing for sure. I compared your version to the FLAC version I already had and it is miles better! Very clean transfer! Good job!
Many thanks for this excellent remaster Paul! The high res scan of the cover wasn’t included in the rar file – possible to include it? Thank you!
Sorry about that. I have re-uploaded the 16-bit flac version which now includes the sleeve art if you would like to download it again.
Thanks so much Paul!! 🙂
Thank you so much Paul, have a nice day, thank you,thank you,thank you.
You’re welcome, Fotis have a nice weekend 🙂
Now I feel old. Not only do I remember the song but I remember Kiss playing the song at Madison Square Garden as part of their Dynasty tour…. Still prefer the earlier Kiss. Their Destroyer tour was great.
Don’t feel bad Bill we are all there with you my friend. Have a great weekend 🙂
YESSSSSSS!!!! Thank you so much!!! I haven’t even listened to it yet, but I bet your copy is a million times better than mine!!!
Thank you!!!
You’re very welcome 🙂
