A friend is a mastering engineer in LA and gifted me a "dry" version (without the dreaded reverb) of "Love Is The Thing" and "Hits" burned direct from the raw studio master tapes that he re-mastered. These raw tracks also includes studio chatter on some tracks that was not included on the commercial release.
I HIGHLY recommend the DCC label for the highest quality sound quality.
btw, on "When I Fall In Love" if your system has enough resolving power, one can 3-4 "pops" during the song which is Nat's voice wave hitting the microphone. the original recording session used vacuum tube equipment so the sound is rich & warm.
