Notes
I got to see LCD Soundsystem on Halloween this year, and they've been selling 100 units per night of their new 12" single. I only sort of came out of retirement to do this rip; instead of my usual, rather onerous process of manually de-clicking from scratch, I opted to be a little less perfectionist, to the great delight of my remaining sanity. First I de-noised conservatively with RX, then ran each side through ClickRepair (settings: pitch protection, reverse, declick 2 on side A and 3 on side B, wavelet, automatic), and did the remaining click removal manually in RX.
It's not as clean as the rips I've done in the past, but I'm hoping the difference is negligible enough to most ears and permissible to the rest. Also, I upgraded my 2M Bronze to a Black since the last upload! Hooray!
