although it looks very much like lossy due to the absence of anything whatsoever above 14kHz, there are no blocks visible when zoomed in to 2 seconds.
there was much discussion about this last year at stg, especially vigotone's 30 Days release which was deemed lossless but heavily noise reduced. the purple chick set (by reputation) is a little less noise reduced, but still the nr is quite heavy.
another note about the early a/b road sets is that they were seeded in shn and since they are pretty much mono they compress down to 50% of the size if converted to flac. the conversion should be done using a secure method (see my signature).
I have three versions of these sessions (twickinham sessions box, 30 days, a/b road) and can pull them out and post screenshots from here if necessary. its quite a bulk of material (around 100 audio cdrs decompressed
). I plan to sort it all out and reseed/vine it somehow next year.
if you tell me the date/track of this a/b road session I can pull mine up and make sure that it looks the same as yours if you're still worried about it.
