   I was watching one of the audiophile YT channels, (The     
   Audiopheliac, I think) and it mentioned a place were you can get     
   free high-quality downloads:  https://www.marecordings.com/   
      
   Exploring the basic site... the prices of the LPs just blow me     
   away.   I can't imagine paying those high prices and then     
   encounter a "pop" or "click" on the record!!!   
      
   The digital versions are quite nice and good enough, IMHO.   
      
   I made CDs out them.  I like about half the tunes on each     
   sampler.  They sound great with room speakers.
