Beware of "lossy-to-lossless" fakes. Many torrents and blogs claim to have the FLAC, but a spectral analysis (using software like Spek) reveals the telltale cut-off at 16kHz or 18kHz—a sign of a transcoded MP3.
What to look for in a legitimate Wish FLAC rip:
Joshua Redman’s 1993 album Wish captures a young tenor saxophonist at the peak of his early promise, balancing modern jazz sensibilities with strong nods to tradition. Recorded with a stellar band (including Brad Mehldau on piano, Christian McBride on bass, and Brian Blade on drums), the record is a showcase of lyrical invention, rhythmic sophistication, and ensemble empathy — qualities that helped establish Redman as a major voice of his generation.

Verdict
On streaming services (320kbps MP3 or AAC), Wish sounds pleasant. But with Lossless FLAC (typically 16-bit/44.1kHz CD-quality or higher), the album transforms.
