Here, you will hear restored and cleaned recordings from albums in my collection and others. This channel features the budget labels' releases from or before the 1980s, Seeburg background music, and miscellaneous 16 2/3 rpm records.
Please note that these come from used records. Also, since most of the source material uploaded here is often from cheap budget releases, budget labels usually had low-quality control standards. Thus, some of these records have defects that my software cannot handle.
I want to note that before April 2012, I didn't upload videos like the ones mentioned above, and most videos before that were not cleaned up; many were not even direct recordings and, as a result, may sound inferior to the uploads after that date.

A shameless plug for my own Patriotic videos playlist
www.youtube.com/playlist?list...
And also for a favorite of mine from another channel- the 3M Cantata Americana AM76 [50 years old this year- from the bicentennial era] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDSlp...
If you don't listen to my playlist, listen to the 3M Cantata Americana AM76 - an annual tradition of mine to listen to this tape on or around the 4th of July each year since it was uploaded 6 years ago.

Happy Independence Day. As we celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary, the occasion feels somewhat subdued compared to the bicentennial celebrations of 1976. Many who remember that era have noted a lack of the commemorative merchandise and patriotic fanfare that defined that milestone. Despite this shift in public observance, I remain hopeful for an impressive fireworks display in my city. On a personal note, I hold this music in high regard; I have a copy of this record in my collection, which was inherited from my wife's great-grandfather.

This might be a bit late in the day, but in the US it is Memorial Day... this recent video has the refrains from Taps, a traditional tune played in the memorial and honoring of deceased soldiers.

I meant to post this yesterday, but after 16 years and a couple of months, I've finally reached 5,000 subscribers 🎉. This is a niche channel, so I never expected to become a star. I'm truly grateful for the community and hope to stay involved for many more years ❤️.
On another note, I created a fun playlist for waking up or getting started in the morning ☀️. Most tracks are from my video library, except for "On The Sunny Side of the Street" by the Members of the Tommy/Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra 🎶. I have this track in my physical collection, but it has already been shared by others.
Check out the playlist here: (youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP...) 🎧.

Happy Easter, everyone! This is an old video, 12 years old.... but to think there was a span of many years that I had no idea who was behind these tracks on this album. Anyways, I am working on a playlist of my religious, non-Christmas content.

To my valued S1K enthusiasts, this album contains tracks that I am confident we have all encountered previously; however, we may not have been aware of the ensemble responsible for them. This is a recent upload from one of the YouTube channels I regularly follow.

🍀 St. Patrick's Day Thrift Store Score: John McCormack on RCA Camden CAL-407🍀
Found this beauty yestday at a local thrift store — talk about auspicious timing! John McCormack Sings Irish Songs on RCA Camden CAL-407, and I'm dropping the post today in time for St. Patrick's Day. 🎉
What makes this pressing genuinely interesting is that it spans both eras of early recording technology. Side 1 is all acoustic-era (1911–1921), but flip it over and Bands 4 through 7 on Side 2 are post-1925 electrical recordings — Mother Machree, Kathleen Mavourneen, The Rose of Tralee, and I Hear You Calling Me — all captured in 1927 and 1930 with that fuller, richer electrical sound. A nice A/B comparison of the technology right on the same LP.
Originally priced at just $1.98 as part of RCA's Camden budget line — designed to bring legendary Victor Red Seal artists into everyday homes — and here we are decades later pulling it out of a thrift bin. The system works. 😄
I went through Discogs and YouTube to compile the tracks for the playlist — most with transfers from this exact pressing — and where I couldn't find those, the liner note recording dates made it easy to pin down the exact versions used on other RCA Victor compilation releases. Tried to stick with RCA Victor sources throughout.
I've folded this album into my ongoing Irish/Ireland Music (Especially for St. Patrick's Day) playlist — give it a listen here 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqlGy...
Also mixed in an Everest Irish Traditional Folk Songs album I stumbled onto while searching — so the updated playlist has grown nicely. Enjoy the full session! 🎶☘️
