I just got these in the mail from Ebay. They are definitely unique and I do somewhat question their authenticity based on their origin. Either way, I couldn't resist based on how unique they are. They claim to be 96k@24bit resolution... hmmm... will have to look at that closer with Wavelab. I have my doubts for obvious reasons. The seller is from the Ukraine and came across as a nice guy. He has perfect feedback rating, but we all know that's not really always a guarantee. Haven't listened to them yet, but I thought I'd share here. Wish I could read what's on the back of the boxes. I have most of these albums on CD and vinyl, so it would be easy to compare them all in terms of quality.
Sorry for the lousy picture quality. This $1000 Samsung tablet has the worst camera in it I've ever had in any android device.

Is this a CD? Then it is 44.1/16.
They may have used hi res sources but when it is encoded on the CD it is, well, CD format.

No, its on SD cards. Should have mentioned that. Packages are only 10x10 cm. They also sell CDs which are obviously 44.1/16
I just opened one and this rather interesting message was displayed with a single match added with the SD card. Strange... like mission impossible with their self distructing message. I'm definitely not putting the SD card in my PC before I know there isn't some hidden Trojan horse or worm virus embedded... lol

I had the chance to listen to this "hi-res masters" and its quality is utter c**p.
It was like I was again in the '70s and I listened to the tapes I recorded from the radio...

I just listened to the Abba album I opened. It plays in 96k Flac codec on my Oppo UDP through the RME converters. All album artwork is there as well. It sounds better than the CD version. Less compression and smoother top end. Definitely not a counterfeit and pleasantly surprised.
