Xpectation

I've been listening to this album on YouTube while studying and really found myself enjoying it more than I expected (no, no pun intended - honestly). I did some reading on the album and i'm aware that there is no physical release. Any ideas where this is available digitally? Or do we need to wait for distribution in a few years time?

Is it not on Tidal? I remember he gave it as a New Year's Day gift if you were a Music Club member back in 2002 I think it was. I like it too. But it was only digital.

I'll check for N.E.W.S, and Rainbow Children. But I'd rather a physical copy of those so I might hang out for a bargain. I just picked up Imancipation last night for $5.98 (U.K) in very good condition. That's an album I always wanted but never found the time to buy. Possibly because I was worried i'd never get through a triple album. I only own one of those (Tom Waits) and I barely give it enough time. Though lately i've been going through the entire package in whole.

Those have all been in the Tidal store in flac for quite a while, actually. There were threads here asking if anyone had compared the flac files for the two npgmc albums with the 256 Kbps mp3s that were originally released but I don't recall anyone having compared them.

It is great that these rareties are for sale in lossless - or at least in the best known quality available. So much great npgmc era stuff to go around.
