Anonymous,
I say it again: ripped from vinyl in glorious monoloudarama! 97 kbps (mono) correspond to approx. 192 kbps (stereo)!

Bitrate, schmitrate.... since I grew up (though many say it's debateable that I "grew up") in the Seattle-Tacoma area, I would like to thank you for this.

But Ian Whitcomb? The last time I saw him it was in Altadena, California where he lives and he hasn't quite lost his British accent after all these years. :)

Would still love this series at HIGH bitrate.

Recorded this a long time ago not the best quality sound but it's history. KOL & KJR were the best.

Thanks for this Ryp! As a born & raised son of the Pacific Northwest, I always get excited for comps that cover our area. And the glorious monoloudarama sounds great, don't sweat the haters.

I was in the Seattle area during the "British Invasion", and can confirm that Ian Whitcomb had the local gals going crazy!

Hope this works - I'm a first-timer.
Vol 1 + 2 of History Of Northwest Rock ripped from vinyl. I do not remember the source (a few years back) but I tagged files, so any errors are mine.
