This channel contains recordings that I have restored from 78s, old LPs that never were released on CD, or CDs of old recordings where I felt I could make a significant improvement in the sound. It will be mostly classical and there will be Toscanini and Stokowski. There will be Phase Four. There will also be the occasional retro, vintage, bizarre, and unusual, or things that just catch my fancy.
Yes, many of these recordings are already uploaded to YouTube but most are just simple “needle drops”. My intention is not to create a recording scrubbed of all possible noise, and life, nor do my equalizations intend to make the recordings sound like they come from some other place with added hall ambience.
My object is to do nothing more than make old and/or overlooked recordings something pleasing to listen to on a high quality sound system but without all of distracting noise and shrill, boomy, or dull tonal balance.
Enjoy!
