Pristine Audio Direct Access has for some time been offering a high-quality streamed access to all of the historic releases on the Pristine Audio label, allowing subscribers to listen on demand, 24/7, to any of Pristine's output anywhere they can log into the Internet service. We are now building on this by adding new transfers not otherwise available. In many cases these are very high quality transfers made by enthusiasts - non-professionals who wish to share their passion (and expertise) for music with a wider audience. In other cases these are recordings which, for a variety of reasons, Pristine Audio has worked on but decided not to release commercially.

In each case subscribers can not only listen online to the recordings, but also download the master MP3 files directly.

No, there are no covers, notes or cue-sheets - these are not commercial releases, more a bonus for our subscribers and an excellent way of bringing more recordings to a wider audience than Pristine Audio can manage on its own - there are only so many hours in the day!
