I will probably post the HRV018 Boot but without RevA for those interested in such version too.

Curious about those comments about 'lossless' material. A general view, not specific to your site, though relevant nonetheless. Many such items I've heard (not here, but via other sites) were actually acquired from material that was hardly exceptional in quality, and most certainly not the actual source master. In those cases, and in concern to material up to 40 years old or so, the 'lossless' caveat may actually be completely pointless, as the material was already slightly depleted long ago. So in most cases, this seems to be much ado about nothing. If one were to make a 'lossless' digital master of an audience mono cassette, it's still an old mono recording of goons in the audience screaming and yelling out song titles. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, as the old saying goes.

Dude, lossless refers to the file compression used on WAV files, and is most assuredly not pointless regardless of the age or quality of the source material. Whether you transfer a master tape or 4th generation tape to digital, you end up with a WAV file -- "CD quality", which refers to the range/dynamics of the actual sound spectrum no matter how crisp or muddy the recorded sound is. Got it so far? Take your WAV and compress it to a format such as FLAC or SHN. These are considered lossless. Why? Because when you decode them back to WAV, the resulting WAV is identical to the source WAV.

Now, take your WAV and compress it to MP3. The sound is now degraded. Decode the MP3 to WAV, burn a CD, give it to a buddy. He rips the CD to his harddrive (WAV), then compresses that to MP3. Guess what? The sound is trashed.

The intention of lossless formats is not to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, but to prevent it from turning into pig dung.
