In the past, ABC has made the .flacs available on the internets.

Indeed. The few of you who have posted here were the same (almost) who were kind enough to make the little effort to give feedbacks for the OE... Ten feedbacks over 12000 view in a short amount of time, and a set easily findable, whenever you were member or not... And after that, a thread as quickly forgotten ! I never saw the Optimum Edition be bumped with feedbacks since then, while I know the set has been downloaded much times.

I noticed how much the current thread has been viewed since I posted new samples and I just think it is unfair "everybody" can catch this set - a very hard work on the holy Grail of the scores - only thanks to a dozen of persons who care enough to tell their point here.

Then, I haven't decided yet among the many options. "Private" share ? Wide share ?... Someone around here is great enough and already proposed to handle the 2nd option, and I'm not speaking about a torrent or special sites. More direct than its way, you can't.

Time - more or less - will tell. Let's say before 2020... Though it could make a nice 40th anniversary edition. :)
