Well it's been released, seems to be the best mastered version released so far, so worth the money.

Although Dreams Too, Articulate & 2 Way Anthem seem to have DJ tags.

Well it's available to download as an mp3 album on amazon and iTunes. Pretty cheap.

I haven't received an email saying they've posted the record/tape yet.

And just like Goldyn Chyld, he sourced the songs from mediocre bitrate mp3's. The "remastering" just made the high end way too harsh.

I compared against a lossless rip of this:
https://www.discogs.com/Ras-Kass-Van-Gogh/release/3531074

Not sure if that promo was fully mastered, but it doesn't sound overcompressed and harsh like this new version.

In my opinion it sounds way better than the official version of Golden Chyld.

I don't think it sounds harsh.

Ya I think since this was actually remastered, that's the difference. The problem is that they started with lossy mp3s. If I have the true lossless files from Van Gogh then Ras Kass sure as hell could have got ahold of them. I'll upload a few of the songs from the rip I have along with the same ones from this release so you guys can compare.

I own 3 versions of Van Gogh from it's original times like over 15 years ago:
- priority records official promo
- capitol records promo (not sure about how legit this is, as it doesn't look very professional)
- street version

I believe all 3 sound much better than current release. I could even hear some skips, cuts and distortions on few of the tracks.
I could have provided original rips to Rassy as a basis  8) Looks like he didn't own the sources anymore.

I like the artwork of new release very much, especially the tape, but I will hold still for now due to shitty sound quality.
