Where to Find the Barbershop Quartet Rendition of God Only Knows?

[DeathMetalJedi]

Other than youtube where everything is compressed to ♥♥♥♥, I have been unable to find a proper recording of the song... Not on spotify, not on any website. It's performed by a group called Category 4 (formerly A Mighty Wind). Is there no official way to purchase or even listen to the actual recording anywhere?

^Pretty sure by "compressed to ♥♥♥♥" he's talking about youtube's awful audio quality not that he can't find the full version. That video is exactly what he doesn't want.

At least I tried. Perhaps YOU can do better.

Was looking for the same myself and stumbled across this post. So far this is the best quality version I've found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg9neeEZ4fc

May be some slight compression left, but if there is it's way less noticeable than the other ones on youtube.

That song was not on the original soundtrack, and that I'm aware of was never released outside of the game proper. I honestly think the best thing you can do is to setup a vid capture of your own game, and then run it through an editor to rip the audio out of it. Pick and ogg or wav form to minimize the loss of quality. It should end up about as clean as a digital rip, but you need to practice where you are in the game first. Its positional audio and it will capture based on where you are standing.

I know it sounds like a PITA, but its about the best advice I can give to get that specific song. I'm curious as to why EA/2K didn't include it on the OST. I can only assume it was some rights thing, and they didn't want to pay the extra cost. Good luck with trying to rip it manually.
