The Beach Boys Albums (2001 HDCD Remasters) (VBR MP3 + Covers)

This torrent contains Lame VBR MP3 files encoded from lossless source. They were claimed to be made from the 2001 HDCD Remasters (which is supposed to sound a lot better than earlier CD versions) and I could hear a positive difference on the albums where I had an older version on the computer (Pet Sounds and Surfin' Safari /Surfin' USA) and all the other albums sounds great too, so I think it is genuine. The torrent contains the Beach Boys' sixties albums, which is the only ones that were remastered in 2001, namely: Beach Boys' Party! / Stack-O-Tracks Concert / Live In London Friends / 20/20 Little Deuce Coupe / All Summer Long Pet Sounds (Mono and Stereo Versions) Smiley Smile / Wild Honey Surfer Girl / Shut Down, Vol. 2 Surfin' Safari /Surfin' USA Today! / Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) All files encoded with Lame 3.97 VBR with the settings -V2 --vbr-new, which gives a lame header like: Quality : 77 Version String : Lame 3.97 Tag Revision : 0 VBR Method : vbr-mtrh Lowpass Filter : 18600 Psycho-acoustic Model : nspsytune Safe Joint Stereo : yes nogap (continued) : no nogap (continuation) : no ATH Type : 4 ABR Bitrate : 32 Noise Shaping : 1 Stereo Mode : Joint Stereo Unwise Settings Used : no Input Frequency : 44.1kHz --[ EncSpot Console 2.0 ]--[ http://www.guerillasoft.com ]-- Enjoy the good, old time songs, remember to seed at least to 1.0 ratio and feel free to rate the torrent / give a comment.

Thanks for doing this.
One very very small mistake I spotted.
The song "I get around" is named as track 13 (last track) of album "Little Deuce Coupe" but it is in fact track 1 (first track) of the album "Surfer Girl".
They were released together as a "two-fer" so easy mistake to make.

I get Around is actually on the album "All Summer Long".
