George Harrison’s third studio album following the break-up of The Beatles was recorded in September and October 1974 and rushed to stores in time for a North American concert tour by Harrison and friends (Nov. 2-Dec. 20, 1974). The album received decidedly mixed reviews but sold well, reaching #4 on the U.S. album charts. It features the hit singles “Dark Horse” and “Ding Dong, Ding Dong,” which reached #15 and #36 respectively.
The album is notable for showcasing Harrison’s acute laryngitis which ruined most of the tracks on the album, and marred the concerts on the North American tour (dubbed by fans and critics as the “Dark Hoarse” tour) in late 1974.
Strangely, “Dark Horse” and its follow-up, “Extra Texture” (the last album of new material issued on Apple Records by Harrison) are the only two albums in his rock music catalog not to be remastered and expanded by EMI.

I have ripped several cds and obtained similar results. I don't think the program is that good. I tried converting a lot of 320 mp3s to flac and it showed they were all mp3. I think the program will catch all mp3s that are converted to flac but it wrongly says that some genuine flac files are mp3 conversions.
Thanks worstfilms for the share! If you post the Japanese issue I will get it because it is widely accepted that they are better quality. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that you did a good job on this one. :)
btw, Is the Buddy Holly box set your rip?
I'll post the Japanese CD pressing for those that want it.
