fantastic record, however the audio files above don't sound great...
Was the source taken from a vinyl copy rather then original reels?

the article does say...

In the third of the series, we move to 1973 Detroit, we have been so excited bringing this through to pressing and it has been a long but exciting and rewarding road and we hope you enjoy listening to this this 45 taken directly from the Universal master tapes

Hi Fragleroc, 

the sound files were provide by Universal Music group in digital format having been digitised and mastered by them.  

cheers Mark

The youtube vid sound great, but the audio samples below sound a bit dodgy so thanks

for clearing that up. Glad its from the reels — fantastic effort

both the samples were processed by site, this may have resulted in a lowering of quality due to a settings error when saving

they both have now been replaced back to the original ones which came from the MD Records site

though bear in mind that these are also lower quality than the youtube

Thanks for sharing!

I prefer the b-side. I am absolutely delighted with that song.
