Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music

SPIFC (Smashing Pumpkins Internet Fan Club) - Archived SPIFC Machina II Website
The SPIFC transfer was produced from a vinyl copy by a member of the SPIFC. A transfer was eventually performed onto two CDs with "high-end" equipment. The SPIFC offers MP3 downloads of the transfer to members and held a contest giving away CD-R copies. The SPIFC transfer shows a 21 kHz tone which casts some doubt on the quality of the transfer. SPIFC rip is more complete than any other rip, it has more of the before / between / after song breaks and sounds than either the q101 or virgin rip does.
The SPIFC is more of a "raw" rip, while the q101 rip was tweaked and processed afterwards to polish it a bit. This was the 2nd transfer to surface and considered the 3rd best transfer, although some prefer it since it is the most complete.
