Japan is notorious for "exclusive" audiophile releases. In late 2014, Warner Music Japan released a limited-edition SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) of Rather Be (from the album New Eyes ). The SHM-CD uses polycarbonate plastic that improves laser readability. Ripping this disc to FLAC creates a file that is technically "exclusive" to that territory and format. Collectors believe the Japanese pressing has a 5-10% lower error rate than standard European pressings.
