Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between these transfers and other commercial reissues?
Our transfers are sourced from the best surviving materials, carefully compared and selected by experienced professionals. They are then restored using precision equipment and techniques specifically designed to resurrect the original sound of these historical tango recordings — unlike many commercial reissues, which often prioritize format coherence or catalog completeness over sonic authenticity.
Where do your source materials come from?
Most of our source materials are drawn from well-preserved shellac and early vinyl records within our private collection, carefully curated and evaluated to ensure optimal fidelity. For collaboration or material contributions, please contact us at info@tangosparks.com
What download formats are available, and how do they differ?
We offer two formats for download: FLAC (96kHz/24bit) for high-resolution audio, and M4A (44.1kHz/16bit) for standard CD-quality playback. Both are derived from the same carefully restored master files from 96kHz/32bit technology.
FLAC files are ideal if you plan to play on a better sound system or apply additional EQ, effects, and further editing in general.
The versions on Spotify are normalized and tailored for streaming environments and casual listening.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payments are securely processed via Shopify Payments, which supports all major credit and debit cards globally.
How do I access my downloads after purchase?
After completing your purchase, you’ll receive two emails:
A purchase receipt email
A download link email — for security reasons, this is the only way to access your files. So please save this email carefully. We recommend downloading your files on your preferred device in a stable and trustworthy network environment.
Can I log in to the Shop to view my order and download files again?
You can create an account on our Shop and view your order history anytime. However, purchased music cannot be downloaded through your account page. Please use the download link email we sent after purchase to access your files.
Can I use these tracks for DJing or public performance?
Yes, once purchased, you’re free to use them in non-commercial DJ sets and public milongas. For commercial licensing, please contact us directly.
