One Nite Alone - Really worth that much? I know the One Nite Alone Piano/Voice album is hard to come by but is a 'new' one really worth in the region of £400??

The seller claims the CD quality version is noticably better sounding than the MP3 version that i have.
Has any one compared the 2?
Would love to know your thoughts. | |

A pressed cd version of anything is better than a MP3 due to the nature of compressing into a mp3 She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo

But regarding the price, it's all down to how much you will pay for it. Some have paid that much which is why it's up for that much.  She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo

OK thanks. So if playing through a home HIFI would the difference be noticable or does it depend on the type of speakers ect?
I'm hoping that as this is quite a sparce sounding album the difference should be quite apparent but I don't want to splash out close to £50 on a CD if I won't hear the difference!

I paid $120 for mine several years ago. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Was it new or used?

MP3 compressions sounds usually worse on hifi speakers. It has a lot to do with how much high-end ("treble") the speakers output. It's typically the cymbals in pop / rock / jazz music that may sound worse on MP3 files (sometimes the degration is perfectly noticeable and sounds unnatural). [Edited 3/28/14 7:43am] | |

I sold an unopened one on ebay a few years back and budding went up to £200(?). I've got another copy that is used and , personally, I hate this album so would snap somebody's hand off for that money again for my other copy...guess done people see it's rarity as the main selling/buying point P-p-e-n-g-u-i-n......the P is silent | |
