"Do The 45!" Vol. 559 (2020)

Super fun collection of soul, blues, R&B, instro, and rock 'n' roll from the original 45's. (From my record collection.)

It's just me having fun with my 45's and whatever random record I pull out of the boxes. I will try to give both sides of the 45 unless one side is dull, unbearable or unplayable. I hope you enjoy. (Gyro1966)

Yankeeboy - I just installed a brand new Denon Mono Cart to replace the three year old Denon I had. It was time, I had used it for well over 1000 hours.

Thank you so much for another great set. My weekly webcast is drawing very heavily from this series and I never fail to find great stuff that is new to me and to most of my listeners.

I hope you will continue reupping the old volumes when you get a chance. I'm still looking to backfill vols 31-54.

Thanks again. This is just a vast treasure trove of great music!

That's very interesting that you are using a Mono cartridge. Have you always been using a mono cartridge since the beginning of this series?

I never noticed it was in Mono. I only noticed how good your compilations sound - especially for old vinyl 45s!

What are your reasons for using a mono cartridge? I'm curious since I will be needing a new cartridge soon, and didn't even know such a thing as a mono cartridge was an option.

I have used the Grado mono cart until vol. 100 or so, then Denon mono until now. Unless it is a stereo record. Since these 45’s are mono, it’s best to play them back that way. The Denon is a moving coil cart, so you will need that setting on your pre amp, or a converter fora moving coil cart.

Are most 45rpm records in Mono? (I didn't know that either!!).

Anyhow, whatever equipment you are using, these all sound fantastic, and I am truly appreciative of this colossal series. You are approaching 18,000 Individual rips! It is a mind-boggling amount of work, which anyone who has tried to rip vinyl knows. The quality of your rips are consistently of high quality - much higher than would be expected from stacks of old 45s.

I suspect as much expertise goes into choosing which 45s to include (great songs, condition of vinyl) as goes in ripping them. The quality of the tracks you decide to include in this series are as consistently desirable. Just as impressive as the technical aspects of digitizing them.

I'm in awe.

Do the 45!, Brother!!
