NEW: - NO DRM, available in famous OGG and lossless FLAC formats - :NEW
GREAT NEWS !!!
We have set up a digital distribution in the US now.
That means, you can download many of our CDs in digital audio format (FLAC or OGG,
- or MP3 after conversion using external tools -) from our USA partner now.
These files have no DRM (= no copy protection) and are available in the best music quality possible
(speak: flac format) = the same quality (but 1/2 the size for flac) you hear on our CDs.
You can also listen in advance to every track in full length a couple of times, so you can decide upfront if you like it.
Almost every track is available as single file / single download, and many albums / CDs are already available.
Please note that at the moment we’re adding a lot of our catalogue, so you might find some gaps, e.g. some CDs still missing.
We’ll also add our old 45 rpm catalogue later on, so there might be tracks you haven’t been able to get (or hear) before.
Additionally, we were able to get the rights to supply the complete catalogue of CRYSTAL BALL RECORDS, NY, that will be available as digital downloads via Mindawn, too.
So if you’re looking for Doo Wop rarities and many nice white & black vocal groups from the 50s, 60s and later, there might be something of interest for you herein - for sure.
