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 (1), 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
(1) 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.

Prof long time no speak. It's been a while since I was here. Lots of reasons, mostly medical, my wife and some me.
ReplyDeleteI 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.)
@WiMa. Many thanks. Flips of Jeff and Michael are missing

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I understand your spreadsheet. Are the songs listed ones that you do have or don't have or both. I had a similar blog, except I posted (then) unavailable LPs. I only did one single, Bill Hershey & the Almonds "Is There A Doctor In The House/Yogi Mans Bikini." I'd gladly send you the mp3s or even the wav files is you need it.
ReplyDeleteI posted two spreadsheets: 1. Missing, 2. Obscure US Artists 1956-1963. The first lists missing, the second all Obscure. Hershey's tracks are not present on Missing sheet = they are not missing.
