Hopefully Rikter you're working from FLAC/WAV files rather than MP3, though if there isn't anybody with lossless files it makes sense to use MP3. Unfortunate though. I have the following if any could be of help, whether there's no uncompressed versions available for these that you have access to or if my MP3s are of a higher bitrate...
* Gongo Edition (128kbps MP3s)
* Los Angeles 2019 (320kbps MP3s)
* Deck Definitive (320kbps MP3s)
* Esper Edition v2.0 (Bitrates vary, ie. some files are 192, some are 224, some 256 and some 320 - all CBR, no VBRs)

I have to say I'm glad an isolated score track is being constructed. I hope that the eventual official release will contain one.

ALSO: I have a list of material here that are merely suggestions for inclusion. I doubt anyone will go on ebay to buy these, but if anybody owns any of these, perhaps they could provide them. Of course, in the case of the books, we probably couldn't use them (copyright), but the magazines are long out of print, so the magazine articles should be okay...

Some suggestions:

That is way too much for us to even gather just a couple of articles. However, I do think that the storyboard script (107 pages of storyboards), would make for a nice storyboard gallery on the DVD - it should definitely be included! And the Illustrated Blade Runner and Blade Runner Sketchbook would also be neat to have.
