Yes. the mastering happens after the recording, so the recordings are not themselves brickwalled. There's a copy of death magnetic that you can find on the high seas that comes from the guitar hero audio, which isn't brickwalled like the CD.

I like your want list, but sadly your expectation list is probably on the money

I was trying to be very reasonable with my expectations.
Theres several more in the 2003 year that we aren't going to get but I would sign up for in an instant: Ben Harper Diamonds On The Inside for example.

Cool with any of your 83. Cool with your disappointed 96 and Bey.
I played that Ben Harper CD to death when it first came out. Haven’t thought about it in 15 years though haha! It is a good album!
