edit: nvm totally misread that post. i guess in the end it's dante's and g-litt's call on how they wanna put out the unreleased track(s)--poor quality encoded X40, or high quality analog - to - wav tape deck transfers. i'll be happy either way, but you know everyone would prefer the 2nd option.

i guess the high-quality of the external product could be reflected with the internal product as well, eh?
oh and dante, i think you should mention which company you are going with to do your duplication/artwork/etc, at least mention it on the CD cover or something, and mention if you get into any hitches with them, particularly if it's a national level organization. many aspiring mcs/artists/producers would be interested to hear feedback from customers like yourself about services like these.
