Can anyone confirm if there was ever a CD or digital release of the Ferry Corsten remix with a cutoff above 16 kHz? I have two masters (CD and digital) and both appear to be lossy transcodes with ~16 kHz cutoffs.

Well I have an interest in acquiring a full uncompressed full version of this mix too.What I have found in the past few years is that of all the cd singles listed in the Discogs master release with the 7:20 mix (all but the German Club Culture CD maxi single which I do not have) not one has the full range of frequencies you would expect to find as with the other mixes that do.This includes the UK CDr promo, which I've all ripped to wav and inspected with WaveLab and spek v0.8.2 software.Anjuna released a digital package about 10 years ago, although I have not personally bought it (why would I!) it has appeared on internet sharing sites since in flac with the same resulting audio spectrum that is on the CD singles, cut-off just before the 17kHz mark. If I knew beforehand that there is a particular release with the uncompressed master I would purchase it right away, but there is none.It does seem to me that there was never a real master of this remix that was released, not on CD anyway. I can't say the same for vinyl as I do not, nor have checked if any packages have so.The only thing I can remember from when I was checking this issue a few years ago is the Ferry Corsten Radio edit I ripped from a single did have higher frequencies over the full mix although I can't say for sure if this was just random peaks or a proper un-cut spectrum that we all want albeit in a short edited form.I listened to the track again and it does seem like there is something missing. Obviously the upper range is squashed and muffled sounding even from the intro with just the percussion playing. It's almost as if we have a 192kbps mp3 on CD singles from 2002, quite shocking really especially of such a quality remix on decent well established labels at the time (Code Blue, Captivating etc).I hope Dancemania reads this and can give us an explanation.

yes! all the same i have the the compilation from 2009 by ocean lab the remixes and its the same on there 16k cut off maybe a vinyl rip "spikes" are apparant!its the norm today just like compression and overly loud recordings with destroyed dynamic range!what are your masters? CDM?
