Ultra Rare Trax[edit]

New enough, long enough, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online source. QPQ done. I prefer the first hook, but both hook refs are AGF and cited inline. I just have some questions on the text. Is there a typo in it was the first one to achieve widespread attention with bootleggers at the potential of digital remastering? (do you mean regarding the potential?) And why was EMI "unimpressed" with the release, when everyone else was so excited about it? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 13:39, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- The first issue is clumsy wording, which I've now (hopefully) fixed. As for EMI, they were unimpressed that somebody had copied recordings from right under their noses, that they had successfully kept locked in vaults for years and years, and was making money from it. I've copyedited that too. Hopefully both areas of concern now make more sense. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:57, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
