Thanks very much for the latest installment. A shame they're all encoded at very low bitrates, but heigh-ho, i'm just glad to have them. Cheers!
"It's a shame that they are all encoded with a very low bit rate"...
In my opinion, this bit rate is sufficient because, on the one hand, it is in mono and corresponds to 192kBit/s stereo. On the other hand, the recordings almost exclusively come from 50s and 60s mono singles or even acetates!
Thank you Rocking Eddie
As always, thanks for posting.
Dankeschön! Robert
RYP, I'm an audio enthusiast and I agree with you about what audio processing is appropriate for this source material. Thanks for this series!
Hi, Jimmie: about track #13, it seems to be a version of “Blond Headed Woman”, original by Harold Lee (although it's composed by Lee himself –under his full name, Harlod Lee Rekart–, it doesn't mean that it was first recorded by him). Lee's version is from 1959, although the one that appears in this compilation seems to be earlier (at least the sound quality might suggest so). Thanks for your work!
You're welcome. It's truly my pleasure. I enjoy researching the names and titles.
