That's what you get for not paying attention :-)

Oh, believe me...it'll work out. This guy even has his own FAN base!!

Duly note. I've met Joao a few times...he works out of Triumph's Metalworks
studio usually.

Sorry that was a brain fart on my part (I've been suffering with a headcold all
week). It's 176kHz at 32-bit. The new analog transfer (from a rebaked non-EQ'd
safety master) was done by Peter Moore at the E-Room two weeks ago. He's the
same gentleman who mastered Bullseye's "Peaks" and many other Bullseye
releases. And we would have used him to master the album as well except I
worked for 3 years to bring the actual mastering guy in L.A. on board. Klaatu
agreed to trust this decision and follow through.
Terry and I will be putting together a press release in coming weeks once the
album has been processed, approved and is off to the manufacturers.
