This 2016 WEB gem appears to have been taken down from whatever HiRes store once released it as I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thankfully someone managed to save this before it got removed!

I had noticed that there are gaps of silence in between tracks on this Hi-Res release, there aren't gaps on the original CD and it sounds like they weren't supposed to be here either. There is also a vocal sample ("the order of the day") at the very end of the first track that isn't on the original album. I presume this is a pre-mastered early version of the album and was not supposed to be released at all but was by accident. The gaps and that vocal sample are the only difference that I've noticed, asides from a click in One Mo'Gin that I've removed, so I removed the gaps just like how it is on the original album so that the tracks flow as they should. The actual mastering of the tracks appears to be the same, the main difference in the mastering is that none of the tracks clip. I've left it as 24/96 just because some of you might want it

The CD was clipped at DR9. Here, you can enjoy this beautiful album in all its dynamic glory. DR13

Will this lose any potency if I rip it to a black disc?

Idk what a black disc is, to me that's a play station 1 game disc.

You can convert it to 16bit 44.1kHz and burn it to CD, it's still going to sound great and better than the original CD because of the uncrushed dynamics which is the benefit people are going to hear with this release, regardless of the 24bit96kHz aspect

Have you personally noticed a difference between the leak and the officially released version?

It still is a beautiful sounding record, it being on wax added a lovely warmth that complimented the already warm gritty low mids
