no what i meant was theres a bit bout people upping mp3s to chemical and they get a percentage of every sale. so thats why i wondered if any could be vinyl rips.
never really bought mp3s 1 reason is i hear a lot of people saying they sound like vinyl rip and sometimes sound shit.

i know they are legit, just wanted to check coz from what i've heard some peps have said some mp3's from stores sound like vinyl rips.
not all but some. i wasn't even sure if a store could legally sell vinyl rips or not. oh and not all vinyl rips are dodgy, if done right they can sound very good.

Chemical does not sell vinyl rips. If you have any other questions the best thing to do would be to call/email customer services. :4:

Im sure chemical dont, Beatport, im not so sure about. Ive wanted Commix - Faceless for ages but the quality of it Beatport seems awful (doesnt mean its a vinyl rip, not sure what my point is)
http://www.beatport.com/track/faceless- ... mix/360530

Luckily it was recently repressed.

Streaming preview on beatport are pretty low bitrate, although the same goes for chemical and juno. If it was an actual low quality file, you'd never tell until you'd bought the full track.

I have bought tracks from Juno that sounded like vinyl rips. Really distorted too.... May not have been their fault as I do think they were probably supplied by the artist/label.
