George Harrison – Dark Horse (1974)
EAC RIP | FLAC+CUE, LOG | Complete Booklet Scans @ 600 d.p.i. | 1 CD | 311Mb
Genre: Rock, Classic Rock

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.

Keep your Hands off!

I can assure you this is ripped from a CD bought brand new at Amazon last month. It is not converted from mp3 or from a torrent source. It just shows what Capitol (or whomever) is trying to pass off as a real CD these days. I just ordered the Toshiba-EMI Japanese version of this album. When it arrives I'll replace this.

If you run it as a single file then that is the result you get, MPEG 95%

Then I broke it into tracks and ran it and here is that result:

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?

Yes, the Buddy Holly box set is mine.

You have better cds than I do. lol

I received a brand new factory sealed Toshiba-EMI Japanese pressing of this (TOCP-65543) and have the same Audiochecker issue with several files coming up as MPEG with probability 95%. In my case it was tracks 1, 3 and 5 that were the problems. Everything else was "CDDA with probability 100%". (see below). Not sure if this is a mastering problem or a Audiochecker bug.

I'll post the Japanese CD pressing for those that want it.
