Since my theory failed does anybody have a spare copy of the red vinyl and willing to sell it?

I finally got round to opening and playing my vinyl. After redeeming the download code for a digital copy I was disappointed to see the link provided was for a mp3 copy. I can't see much point in having a re-master in mp3. The download page says "Please note if you have requested a FLAC download this may take a couple of minutes to generate.". I was about to contact Townsend Music to enquire about getting the download as FLAC when I found this on their website: - "Downloads included with purchases of LPs are only available in MP3 format."

I tried amending the mention of mp3 to flac in the download url but it made no difference.

Yeah, just bad. We should have gotten the flac version of the album. It's a real shame cause the package is pretty neat.
The bass though is kinda weak. I didn't enjoy it as much.
