But no... My work is obviously not good enough. so I suppose Ive wasted the last 10 or so years of my life, Ive enjoyed every minute of hearing new sounds on disc and restoring them, but at what cost..<br />Im now 36 and very unemployable, No qualifications to speak of and no trade.<br />I really don't know how long I can "hang on" to this shadow of a existence but I'll try,<br /><br />I might have a look at some of the B-sides Ive never put up here before.<br />So stay tuned.Ade42http://www.blogger.com/profile/12979939181844963877noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525497260464049083.post-40528093968721392922010-06-18T17:48:00.000+10:002010-06-18T17:48:32.346+10:0078rpm Restoration -

So after seeing 2 specialists (I like a 2nd opinion) and haviong a very comprehensive hearing test, I have exectional hearing btw! No one could find anything wrong. I knew it was a off and on again inner ear infection as i used to have em as a kid, no one would belive me so ive just spent 60 miserable, unpaid, no dole, days waiting.. just waiting for it to clear.<br />Well out of pure desperation to get back to any work (more crappy call center stuff no dought) so i could try and find more 78's and transcription discs to restore I went to one of those "medical Centre" doctors which cost nothing, which is why I went! <br /><br />After a 2 min consult and a quick peek into my ear the doc had it sorted and now im on the mend at last. Its been pure hell let me tell you. <br /><br />One of the bad things was I had to finish a contract at a call centure due to my illness (did 3 months and they wanted to extend me but i had to decline) and now no one wants to hire me (it seems, or there is just no work)<br /><br />The next thing I want to do is Upgrade this site somehow, if anyone has any ideas please let me know.<br /><br />More Aussie Radio in ultra high quality?<br />More Big Band?<br />More "Public Domain-ish" Lp's?Ade42http://www.blogger.com/profile/12979939181844963877noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525497260464049083.post-53173330226760542562010-04-26T20:37:00.004+10:002010-04-30T21:45:33.304+10:00The Army Show Episode 4<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq0qrA79OfEFkMn4KsU0qF-yASy3AWccqPu45KcEX_xzbbdwVfAG3EEwLjZqhaT3CHF0KO1FVHwuj6ShK8i_aL7hppQfta3ecviP2pZMCxkc7-fDDrxDRxlHUeAzs1upe0VCZb66yR_Kc/s1600/EHG+02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 247px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq0qrA79OfEFkMn4KsU0qF-yASy3AWccqPu45KcEX_xzbbdwVfAG3EEwLjZqhaT3CHF0KO1FVHwuj6ShK8i_aL7hppQfta3ecviP2pZMCxkc7-fDDrxDRxlHUeAzs1upe0VCZb66yR_Kc/s400/EHG+02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465893788766429314" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Gday again,<br /><br />Ok im a bit late for Anzac Day bit here in part is my tribute and personal thanks to all the Anzacs from every conflict.<br /><br />Here's a picture of my grandfather Ernest Gregg when he was in the 2/2 Inf, He was later in Z Special Unit.

From memory it was on the Decca label. Anyone have any info?<br />Again from a 100 gigabyte Cache I have of 78 Transfers which for the most part i have no label scans, Again I'm no collector (can't afford to be unfortunately) and transfer other peoples discs. Or discs I find at the Dump and junk shops (a rarity these days)<br /><br />Nice pressing overall some slight distortion here and there other than that hear it without all the soul destroying noise reduction that "modern" CD reslease3s present!<br /><br /><br /><br />So what Happened to the blog over the last few months?<br />Well ive been quite busy with some employment in the sound industry! well ok a call centure!<br />Was only a Temp position for 3 months and now its over and Im back sort of, Due to the fact that when like myself you are a temp and you get sick you go to work, no matter how ill you are. because if you dont go to work you dont get paid. No sick days for temps Im afraid. So in i trudges each day untill the enviable happened and I got the flu. Ok you say so what!!<br />Well I get the full blown flu once every 3-5 years and was not expecting it. Not in the least, and it started effecting my ears and I couldn't hear properly for a couple of months, used to have a lot of problems with "glue ear" as a child but not in the last 20 odd years!. so now im getting much better Ill start eking out some more sounds! Good news is I had specialist look over my ears and apparently I have exceptional hearing!<br /><br />As the Jobs in Brisbane are non existant at the Mo ill work on some more Tracks for here!

(more of which later)<br /><br />Wow a fantastic album with a host of British "jazz" alumni Including Johnny Scott, Tubby Haynes, Terry Walsh, Frank Clarke and more! Ive included a photo of the back cover so you can read the notes. Nice!<br /><br />01 - Maigeret<br />02 - Corronatrion Street<br />03 - Naked City<br />04 - Startime (sunday night at the London Paladium)<br />05 - Z Cars<br />06 - Man Of The World<br />07 - Perry Mason<br />08 - Here And Now<br />09 Willow Waltz (world of Tim Frazer)<br />10 - Route 66<br />11 - Stranger on the Shore<br />12 - Dr Kildare<br /><br />an FCM production<br />Produced By Cyril Ornadel - he composed the TV theme "Sapphire and Steel" amongst many many others<br />and wrote Portrait of My Love for Mat Munro (who incidentally was billed as "Ray Cathode" on Peter sellers first proper 'LP "Songs For Swinging Sellers") and he wrote Mr Secombe's perennial "If I Ruled The World" Hmmm I'll shut up now..<br /><br /><br />Anyway its a really stellar album as far as TV Theme albums go, <br /><br />Now this might sound strange but im a terrible "Writer" and reviewer. So if anyone has any thoughts about this album and indeed any of the posts sofar please let me know! Ill add em here with full credits, Ta<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I originally Downloaded this album as a mp3 from a mono pressing. (of course this aint mono folks!)<br />Like a lot of the other blogs out there hosting a myriad of forgotten albums, the quality of the rip and restoration left a lot to be desired, poor transfer (ceramic cart with plastic tonearm by the sounds of most of em) poor restoration, you know when the piano takes on a "honky-tonk" sound that means a over the top use of Noise Reduction. Great "holes" due to overuse of automatic de-clickers. And worse of all crappy Pre-Amps!<br />"jumps" and after extensive "restoration" lots of noise left!<br /><br />Now after hearing a few thousand (while out walking to keep fit last year) of these Blog type LP to mp3's the thought struck me to do the same. but try to preserve as much "musical" content of the disc, if not,<br /> Don't rip and present it.<br />If the album is a bit "worn" or badly scratched, get another. not many people "get" that simple premise and the internet is filled with poor transfers masquerading as the "real thing". When it only costs a few $ to buy another copy on Ebay and you like it, Buy it! <br /><br />And don't get me started on Plastic "turntables" which rip to mp3! Indeed...<br />As for 78's Thats another story, I rip what I get (not many) and haven't bought any from ebay due to the high cost of older discs. But would love to rip some more, Any Offers?<br />Some of my albums (LP's) Ive presented here cost me pennies, I mean the Bond album cost all of 25 cents.<br /><br /><br />Rapidshare Link<br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/328710381/LP_-_Dance_To_The_TV_Themes_-_Steve_Race.zip">LP - Steve Race - Dance To The TV Themes WRC</a><br /><br /><br />Oh after a couple of years stuffing around with many forms of ilumination so i could get nice clean cover and label shots ( I tried in vain with flatbed scanners) Ive finaly found the "perfect" set up.<br />It may sound Primitive (remember this is a brownpaper and string operation!) but two "work lights" the kind painters use when painting houses, they are 500 watt jobs and after a couple of mins "placing them" create results like the shots in this post and the last one!Ade42http://www.blogger.com/profile/12979939181844963877noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525497260464049083.post-29520856156348135162010-01-02T17:54:00.006+10:002010-01-03T10:49:34.597+10:00Geoff Love - Big Bond Move Themes MFP 1975<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFxfdxS9D6HINO6ySC7Gt8hbyRZqE2c74LoOfnr-jtqi9VCvtV1Qqb_f-HHeixBz2dkQObxp14Q_x7bYrD0BH7SKkI5uOKVaALZNRI22Of_5SlCpp9qw47lSbS6AvkZyNHiGndYrOkUl8/s1600-h/LP+-+Geoff+Love+-+James+Bond+-+COVER.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 399px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFxfdxS9D6HINO6ySC7Gt8hbyRZqE2c74LoOfnr-jtqi9VCvtV1Qqb_f-HHeixBz2dkQObxp14Q_x7bYrD0BH7SKkI5uOKVaALZNRI22Of_5SlCpp9qw47lSbS6AvkZyNHiGndYrOkUl8/s400/LP+-+Geoff+Love+-+James+Bond+-+COVER.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422069663206047298" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixq19E-kXWK9OlY17jci-V7Iux1w9uFFt2UEQu7StgbCoP8i8r-Z1MGcDow1NHERxPJk5GiLRIFcI4wVhimOG_AMSdsBchdBYgxvZqiChBkEdd8t_3lGAEzBxjAJ4YW7YdS_YVH8aWWdA/s1600-h/LP+-+Geoff+Love+-+James+Bond+-+Side+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 385px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixq19E-kXWK9OlY17jci-V7Iux1w9uFFt2UEQu7StgbCoP8i8r-Z1MGcDow1NHERxPJk5GiLRIFcI4wVhimOG_AMSdsBchdBYgxvZqiChBkEdd8t_3lGAEzBxjAJ4YW7YdS_YVH8aWWdA/s400/LP+-+Geoff+Love+-+James+Bond+-+Side+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422072083249902066" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Geoff Love - Big Bond Move Themes<br /><br />Stock Standard Bond tunes LP from Geoff Love, who at the time was releasing a slew of "themed" discs over at MFP (Music For Pleasure) Some of them not bad (and may get a airings here!)<br /><br />Its very well recorded with a fresh bright sound which shows our yonger readers that cheap records didn't mean poor sound (a misconception ive heard a lot recently) Not bad arrangements apart from the titletrack.<br /><br />A couple of "mis blown" trumpets now and again dampen the otherwise sterling performance.<br /><br /><br /><br />The disc itself had the usual crackle for a "played a bit" disc. The restoration cleaned up all (bar one or two) minor clicks and sounds very very good. A little too good!!.. Could be my new LP Cart as well. <br />The best Shure cart M97xE is now used for LP's and its a world of difference.

Only recently have I located a "fresh copy" of this very disc.<br />The Aussie pressing was on W&G Records while the original UK Pressing was on the woolworths own label Embassy, Who more the most part recorded "covers" and issued them on cheap discs. A noble industry and Embassy produced some very fine re-recordings (if i was richer Id start collectiing are preseriving thise discs here!)<br />It was only after hearing a BBC Radio Documentry about "Embassy" that I tracked down this recording..<br />The dicsc used in the new BBC Doco was very very poorly restored/transferd. I wrote to the BBC about this and offered my services for free but got no reply. This after writting to several BBC Departments and the producers of the series (which still airs). after hearing another show on the 'Archive Hour"<br /><br />Now the recording itself. I was very lucky to obtain Three copies of the disc and each had its own problems.<br />From the three pressings ive cobbeled together a complete set.<br />to preserve the ambience of the recordings ive not used that much noise reduction.. any more and it adversly efects the life of the recordings. There's a little distortion which was evident on all 3 pressings.<br /><br />now onto the music<br /><br />Zcars - A fine version of the theme, for years I thought it was the Johnny Keating Pye recording untill i obtained a disc that was audible! (my old 45 was beyond playback) Ive seen quite a few Zcars epps of late.<br /><br />Dr Kildare - pretty much the same as the "telle" vesrion with all those Mantovani type strings.<br /><br />Maigret - Ive heard a few of these recently and this one is by far the best. Ive only seen the one epp of this production anyone have any more?<br /><br />Coronation Street - Although a "sopie" which i have no interest in for some reason I adore the theme. perhaps its the Northern bluesy jazzy feel of it but it just "fits". out of all the various versions of this theme Ive collected again this one takes the cake, partly due to the walking bass line and the harmonies of trumpet and clarinet.<br /><br />Ill prsent some more rare Brit TV theme Discs soon. up next a 1963 disc by Steve Race, Tubby Haynes, Johnny Scott. "Dance To The TV Themes" Its taken a few years to find a clean Stereo Pressing!<br /><br /><br /><br />A Zip file containing the EP and scans<br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/326829272/45_-_Top_TV_Themes_-_James_Wright_-_EMBASSY.zip">James Wright - Top TV Themes</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />If anyone has any other embassy titles please don't hesitate to email me.Ade42http://www.blogger.com/profile/12979939181844963877noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525497260464049083.post-38766636059873266402009-12-28T10:32:00.003+10:002009-12-28T10:37:06.722+10:00Oscar Rabin - Honeysuckle Rose REGAL ZONOPHONEwhile browsing my Rapidshare upload list Ive seen quite a few 78's ive not uploded yet.

Not only that but many of the VDisc "sides" were new recordings or at the very least taken from AFRS airchecks.<br /><br />The Harry James side is the one I want to focus on here as it contains some rather bopish arrangements from Mr James. The other side although good shows what the makeup of a typical Disc was.<br /><br />Now What was a Vdisc? for those not in the know, A VDisc was a 12 inch Vinyl 78 pressed with the usual Standard (wide) grooves that 78's have, They were made to be issued to the troops during ww2. They were sent the the many troop camps, ships, and anywere armed men would be. The discs diddet get into the hands of ordinay soldiers during the war but they would be sent to the Camp,Ship Etc and be used over the PA or in-house "radio" network. after the war all the discs were Recalled and destroyed, but some guys "lifted" discs and took em home. which is how they exist today!<br />The condition of this platter is appalling, many large scratches, a cascade of crakle and in some parts "holes" wher someone had dropped a heavy steel needle pickup into the grooves. As I said before Ive not found a "clen" vdisc yet, But one day I hope to transfer some "good" ones. <br /><br />Are Vdiscs worth all the effort in locating and transfering?<br />Yes! we have to remember for the most part America had a recording ban on (from mid 42-44) so any music from that period is "rare" . Most of the Big Bands and recording outfits had got Bolder and . umm its hard to put into words but Swingier! <br /><br />If you know of anyone with any VDiscs and would like to get em professionally transferred and restored let me know.. I just want to her the tracks!!

So some observations would be nice. At least I could see that posting tracks is appreciated.<br /><br />Well enough of that and lets get down to the track<br /><br />Fats Waller - Scram. A nice Regal Zonophone Pressing showing some wear and tear. Although visualy perfect, Which is the great curse in collecting these things, looks arnt everything.<br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/326408885/Fats_Waller_-_Scram__Feather__REGAL_ZON_OA057088_GOOD.mp3"><br />Fats Waller - Scram GOOD</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/326408887/Fats_Waller_-_Scram__Feather__REGAL_ZON_OA057088_tmnr.mp3">Fats Waller - Scram TMNR</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/326408884/Fats_Waller_-_Scram__Feather__REGAL_ZON_OA057088_FAKE_STEREO.mp3">Fats Waller - Scram FAKE STEREO</a>Ade42http://www.blogger.com/profile/12979939181844963877noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525497260464049083.post-10348036368716722182009-08-16T18:54:00.010+10:002009-08-16T20:04:35.778+10:00Freddy Martin - Dingbat The Singing Cat (Mossman Hoffman) HMV D6-VB-2<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh44Dhr4aS7SNFvezk4OFUzE20zIp4lU8r_AsftaMHiEfJt3K-3kMiJy_IOXq0JVzRfqIaQ_WulAlgNnvRwCGEIJYrb4hAPRJLxm33C8hb3agQ_Vwu3VUv0jpyg2iMJHkwtCdDG-ozVQUc/s1600-h/Generic+HMV.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 396px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh44Dhr4aS7SNFvezk4OFUzE20zIp4lU8r_AsftaMHiEfJt3K-3kMiJy_IOXq0JVzRfqIaQ_WulAlgNnvRwCGEIJYrb4hAPRJLxm33C8hb3agQ_Vwu3VUv0jpyg2iMJHkwtCdDG-ozVQUc/s400/Generic+HMV.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370492006391913570" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Freddy Martin - Dingbat the Singing Cat<br /><br />Now the 40's were full of "novelty numbers" (in fact the 50's were mostly Novelty tunes!)<br />Here's a Nice little diity sure to make you scream in pain (if you like "long hair" sounds avoid this!)<br />Shades of Peter and the Wolf Anyone?<br />Les Brown and Duke Ellington recorded nice versions of Peter And The Wolf too, And Ill bung em up if you want (I think there Not in copyright, dukes maybe, hmmm)<br /><br /><br />This IS the very reason I like hunting out old 78's, I mean.... were else could you hear such "gems" and with so much life STILL left in em! <br /><br /><br /><br />IF YOU like the material and want to hear more..
