The HDTT site says, "Transferred from a 15ips 2-track tape". Like most of HDTT's other reissues, this must originate from a commercial tape, although the 15ips speed surprises me.
Regarding the picture differences, yes - the legs are in different positions too, so for sure they were different pictures.

The 15 ips tape was not a "commercial issue" in the sense that it was available to the public. It was a copy used by a radio station, made for an insider, made as an illegal copy, sent to a mastering studio for vinyl production and never returned, or some other reason. These 15 ips tapes are frequently sold on eBay, and the provenance is never certain.
I bought a Melodiya 15 ips tape from a seller in Russia to test the quality. It turned out to be very good. I bought a second tape. Some of the Russian repertory is rare enough to justify the cost. I suspect the seller has or had access to a tape archive and made 1 to 1 copies to sell. The two transactions went without problems. The package had to clear both Russian and US customs, so it took about a month to arrive. The seller put tracking, and I could follow the package from beginning to end.
That's very interesting about the radio station 15ips copies - I never knew such items existed. But, come to think of it, these were probably the kinds of tapes I heard on the radio as a kid on KFAC in Los Angeles. They were supposedly "master" tapes lent to the station by 3M's Mincom (sp?) division. That was my first exposure to the Dorati/LSO performance of Prokofiev's Love for Three Oranges Suite, and it was so stunning (even via FM broadcast) that I never forgot it!
in the cheap-o DVD-A format without the 'jewel case'.
Can a computer 'rip' a DVD-A to iTunes?
Asking for a friend. =:-0
There's a software program, DVD-Audio Extractor, that will do the job. I'm curious though as to why you wouldn't just get the download and save yourself the trouble of ripping the disc?
When we die, it gives our heirs something to do.
