I went through my collection of 45s and found that i have two.

1. Version 1 is an earlier pressing. It is inscribed with "P-91W -2" and "A-19" on the lead out and palm tree lined street. I would describe it as "Good" borderline Very Good quality.

2. Version 2 "7-21990/wbs 1304-sr1 |-|" I would also describe it as "Good" borderline Very Good. It was a "Back to back hits" pressing. Probably from the 80s. Often times made to put in Jukeboxes.

Both obviously were dirty and not "mint and virgin".

I used my best vinyl brush and cleaned as much dust as I could, then vinyl cleaner on them and decided to do a "wet" rip. This is often used when a record is dirty. I played it through once to dislodge any dust I could, then rinsed again and then started playback. While playing back I carefully dripped additional drops of water on the record ahead of the stylus. I did this transfer with the Shure M97x. i left the sweeper in the down position to pick up as much dirt as possible.

The turntable used was a Kenwood KD-550 with a Rega RB250 tonearm with some upgrades. The cartridge is a Shure M97x with a new stylus. The amplifier is a Pioneer sx-1010 and the regular phono stage. The sound was sent out through the REC on Tape 1 output and into a Macbook Pro recording with Garage Band in stereo. No effects or post recording processing was done.

I recorded both and then went back to the files and decided which one sounded better. There were minor differences in the upper and lower end, but they were obviously the same mix. The difference was in the mastering.

The rip is AIFF, 1411 KBPS, 44kHZ (the mac line in can only input that sample )
rate)
The downsample is Apple Lossless in 801Kbps, sample size 16bit, and 44.100 kHz

I have uploaded them to Drop box, I have never used drop box though, so good luck getting them. If someone wants to grab them and put them somewhere else feel free. Since it is copywriter material you have to own Silver Springs in at least ONE form or another and since we are all fans I BETTER have bough Rumours at least three times!

Someone reply here to this thread and tell me to PM you and I will tell you where to get it. I don't use the mail system here so someone else is gonna have to be this. I don't want anyone getting in trouble here for posting the link
