Alos on iTunes, I'm told.

No matter, this is a fine fine SUPERFINE sugarmomma of a date.

So (and here I may be being dense--apologies!), is the CD-R simply a burn of the MP3s, or some sort of lossless format like Flac?

It's a burn of the mp3s. I haven't bought one of these, but there's a review on Amazon of Ran Blake's The Blue Potato that cites the source as a dirty needle drop. Sounds like these are to be avoided, for the most part.

Ick. I suppose the mp3s themselves are also potentially nasty needle drops. Talk about the worst of both worlds!

You can find the album in needle-drop mp3s on the internet for free.

Well, my VINYL reissue (yes, by Fresh Sound ) of the Trans-World release sounds quite OK, clear and crisp to my ears ("fresh", in fact .

And at any rate it has the advantage of a medium that will LAST.
