Blondie - Parallel Lines -2022 Deluxe- -flac- 88 May 2026

Let’s perform a mental test. Load up the 1986 CD pressing (track 4: "Fade Away and Radiate"). Now play the 2022 Deluxe 88.2 FLAC. Blondie - Parallel Lines -2022 Deluxe- -FLAC- 88

The synth pads wash across the center. A secondary guitar part you never noticed appears in the right periphery. This is because the 88.2 kHz sample rate preserves the phase coherence between the left and right channels—the very secret ingredient of analog recordings. Source – For a true 88
