The search option helps.. https://xprm.net/request/various-triple-six-records-album-vol-1

Anyway, I got the file from the freebie download but only in 128kbps, presumably ripped from SC.

If all id3 tags are wiped and there's no Lame Tag (created only if it was encoded exactly by lame tool/exe, not ffmpeg or something else) with technical info (including sampling rate of the source file) I'm afraid you can only guess and either trust or not trust the source you got the file from. High-bitrate AAC VBR mimics lossless spectrum's visual so good that it's easy to confuse it even with proper/original WAV/FLAC, not to mention telling the difference of AAC-->MP3 vs. WAV-->MP3 encodes with same mp3 encoder version/settings used :(
Afaik, no (non-exotic) shop encodes/sells mp3 with Lame 3.100; 48 kHz lossless source is possible but is still quite rare (at least for hardcore/hardstyle genres) + only label official sites'/bandcamp/hardtunes/hardstyle.com shops can accept from producers/offer to customers this kind of "bonus" quality.
So it's up to you to decide if it's ok to help spreading around this kind of weird, unknown-sourced 48 kHz mp3s (they seem to show up way too often than you can suggest someone's buying lossless) - ofc it's better than nothing but it kinda lessens the chances of proper version to ever show up because most people don't know or care about all these technical nuances and'll just consider the release complete/issue closed if there's no obvious upscale

Thanks for the information. Can I know if a file is that way by looking at the spectrogram and if, how?

Oh, remembered 1 more option that involves paying even less money: re-encoding to mp3 from Spotify Premium's high-bitrate ogg/aac stream or m4a/aac tracks purchased in iTunes/Apple Music.
Which is tbh more likely because unless someone intentionally wants to screw free content users I don't see reason to bother with any kind of extra operations (only fixing tags maybe) to share an mp3 track if someone already got mp3 at hand that was encoded by/downloaded from a usual WEB shop

Probably unaudible. But if the source was regular mp3 @ 44,1 kHz purchased in a WEB store (which is most likely cuz it costs less and for most people 320 kbps mp3 got acceptable file size for almost the same as lossless quality) then it means a guaranteed lossy mp3-->mp3 reencode + upsampling artifacts. If the source was lossless @ 44,1 kHz then it's just about generic audio upsampling artifacts that could be even less impactful compared to lossless-->mp3 conversion losses

Just noticed that all these 3 missing tracks got unconventional symbol ’ used instead of ' if you copy-paste file names from thisisoursound.co.uk - so maybe that's the cause for the filehost somehow discarded them?

What exactly does this mean for the data of the file and the quality of the sound?

Unusual 48 kHz sampling rate

Full extended mix with correct bitrate but a little fault: file is 3:50m instead of 3:45m and's got silence the last seconds.
