Despite its seemingly poor reputation, I love the original version of this album and, after losing my copy, couldn't find it anywhere. Not even eBay sellers in the USA. I had to get it from some guy in Holland.
In an attempt to minimize degradation due to compression, I uploaded it in a mov container with an alac audio stream. It was the only combo of container and lossless codec that I could get YouTube to accept. They obviously re-encode this to aac and/or opus, but I figure the best one can do is at least provide them with a lossless encoding to begin with.
I scanned the cd cover and created the 16:9 version by expanding it with gimp's content-aware heal/fill tool. I'm kind of shocked how well it worked.
