Where might one come across the original Californication sound files?

Nope...not the internet.

There is an ALTERNATE mix on the internet but it's not the Californication that's on the album. I'm talking about the actual multi-tracks.

Ah ok, I just recall seeing "unmastered" copies floating around.

Yup...that's the alternate mix.

I just "Acquired" the alternate mix version, it's certainly much better than the retail CD, recording quality seems about average though, and there's still significant compression (not too bad, DR10). Makes me curious to hear the unmastered version, but lack the ninja skills to obtain them  :( .

Out of interest, as far as Californication is concerned, would this (http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/479/caliw.jpg) be even vaguely comparable to the multi-tracks? It's apparently different again to the alternate mix knocking around...

VERY COOL!

That is the actual sleeve of the alternate mix. The timings match the alternate mix.

Unfortunately, the alternate mix does not sound much like the multi-tracks...then again...it depends how you mix the multi-tracks.  :)p2

LFF, are any of your masters actually available for purchase?  You seem to talk about them a lot - and I'd love to be able to relate to what you're talking about.  :)p3

First one's not my cup of tea, but I'm enjoying the Saturnine mix - thanks for sharing!  Do you have a full list some place?

P.S. DR over 9000!
