Technically not a repeat since this one does ask for FLAC.
But then you can also argue what defines a 'poor quality' rip... I don't know of anyone else that has ripped any of the B-Trax to FLAC and made them available.
I have a recording of this but never got round to cleaning it up, sadly I don't have the same levels of re-mastering wizardry that you have Q91 ;)
If you think you can make a higher quality version from it and want to have a go let me know and I can PM you the files.
a clean spectrum isn't the only thing you should check. If you blindly stare at the spectrum, then I got about 60 MP3s I can easily fool you into thinking are WAV/FLAC
If you were presented with the mp3 version of this track, would you have doubted it instantly?
Note: I have not transcoded anything. The mp3 was bought from the Next Gen MP3 store way back in ~2009, and the FLAC was bought from Toolbox ~2020
If it wasn't because of the mastering filters I used back then (I didnt doublecheck spectrums that much back then), my rip would've had similar tops like yours. sadly dont have the raw rips anymore, so i would have to re-rip to make it look good again.

Your spectra are much better.

Look at the spectrum and you will see that the frequencies are evenly cut.
