The specific term "pmedi" often refers to high-quality digital releases from specialized providers like PMEDIA. Core Studio Albums in Lossless Quality
- Qobuz – Often has 24-bit versions of Riptide and Clues.
- HDtracks – Look for the remastered editions.
- Presto Music – Great for the deeper cuts and live albums.
- Second-hand CDs – Buy the original Atlantic or Island CD pressings (1980s/90s) and rip them yourself to FLAC with Exact Audio Copy. That is the true "extra quality."
9. Heavy Nova (1988)
- The follow-up: “Simply Irresistible” – in FLAC, you hear the chair squeak at 0:23 (a famous studio artifact).
- Overlooked track: “Early in the Morning” (Gap Band cover). The bass harmonica is lost in lossy files.
- Collector’s note: The European CD includes “Tell Me I’m Not Dreaming” (duet with Joss Stone? No—wrong era. This was actually a demo for Riptide).
- FLAC tracks: 9
- File size: approximately 180 MB
