Vinyl to PC transfer (pdf Tutorial)

Singles of obscure Artists are hard to find. Missing available on Internet Marketplace below, Seller in the right column*:

marked in green = ordered, not received yet
*empty cell in column "Seller" = not available on Discogs

Sound quality is essential = digital rips only*

Having a pleasure in listening obscure records in good sound quality is more important than collecting poor rips. Sound quality of majority of YouTube rips also many tracks from CD compilations is very poor and such copies are disregarded. Making a good rip is very simple, modern (produced in the XXI century) turntable and Audacity (freeware) is all that you need. I have prepared  
Please follow the guidelines. You can purchase a 45, make a rip and send mp3 to me - I prefer raw rips and my own remastering.

* Every single track is remastered (2), iZotope RX7 licensed software and Audacity freeware are applied. All files are properly tagged. 
Tags: 1. Title, 2. Artist, 3. Album, 4. Publisher, 5. Copyright, 6. Comment, 7. www, 8. Cover
(2) remastering = fixing any shortcomings of the ripped vinyl or the transferred CD track (de-click, de-noise, normalization, intro/outro silence of 0.75/2.00). The frequency spectrum is not "improved", it remains unchanged, as the norm.

Location of the file with a given Obscure Artist can be found on Google sheet:

Teen Sound Artists are denoted in column N by K, K' or K- (see the main post)

Prof long time no speak. It's been a while since I was here. Lots of reasons, mostly medical, my wife and some me.
I have a set of files from you from years ago and was opening and listening to them. British Singles Chart 1967-70 needs a password to open 7Z. Any chance you could supply that pw?
Either way I hope you and yours have a good holiday season.
lemonflag @ gmail if that makes it easier.
(What I have heard 60s wise has been great, the unheard b-sides are such fun. Thanks.)
