?? The links open to: "KodalyPsalmus+Peacock-Solti1954" - could you post the right ones, please?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Sod...TWO problems - Mega no longer allows access using Vista OS (so had to use another Ubuntu machine) - also have to copy the 'Mega Download' otherwise the link is in full..
DeleteNow corrected - as forgot to 'apply' new links for these. Maybe upload auto-declicked if required..but wanted to provide completely accurate files..
Thanks Tin! Very kind, as always. I love your great LP rips
ReplyDeleteWell..it's bonkers to hand-edit this vintage of Decca 'Geon' - but, on another blog, where decent equipment is used; it is clobbered by software intervention - totally horrid!
Deletethank you very much
ReplyDeleteJudging by the page-Views (200 in 24 hours) seems 'popular'....
DeleteNot sure I'd transfer my new 1952 copy of Kleiber's Beethoven 7 (have 2x ACL) but may do the 1 (Schuricht) 4 (Krips) as have spare LXT's (Bohm's 8 - c/w Schuricht - is not good compared to the ACL).
Thanks looking forward to hearing this one, hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteI guess as long as I get Some Sort of Response - though editing this vintage won't lead to many new transfers - unless you're in the market for Muzak..
DeleteNot really into Muzak
DeleteWhat document is the review quote taken from?
ReplyDeleteUsually include these reviews (the Jan 1951 for Kleiber's Beethoven 7 + the Galliera 78's is more detailed re: performances) - from the 'EMG Monthly Letter' - have a complete run (minus July '67) from the first Jan '47 new format to the end of EMG in 1980 - then the 1980-86 version published by the Beecham Trust. Much more condensed than 'Gramophone' reviews of that period - with similar sections - but more attention to recorded quality...as they were also sellers of 'Hi-Fi' from the early days.
DeleteCould copy a few issues - the early LP commentary is interesting - also re: stereo, in 1958.
So interesting to see these thanks
ReplyDeleteHello, I just found your site and look forward to exploring it. Based on your comments, it sounds like you don't care much for the restoration work done by the other Pristine? Just curious! Thanks for making all this music available to everyone.
ReplyDeleteTends to be ancient-history as the majority there now appear to be radio-based.
DeleteI think Restoration/ReMastering is mostly a load of Bull - all you really require is an accurate copy - without adding 'ambience' to mono and Equalisation Fakery.
CD could also be the source of '24bit Premium downloads' - unless there was obvious treble extension above 22kHz..
Maybe add a slightly de-clicked version of this (24/48) as there wouldn't be much 'damage' to the signal - but there is a slight 'smoothing' even at the lowest settings.
Thanks ! Looking forward to hearing this. Your transfers are the best. Much appreciated !
ReplyDeleteWell..I've never claimed that!
DeleteHave a substantial chunk of the pre-1958 LXT catalogue - though when they're 'pre-RIAA' transferred (<late-55) there can be many duds - no consistency year-to-year - but some are very good with EQ adjustment.
Thought this may be interesting to compare with CD variants. Have also uploaded a (minimally) software 'declicked' version from the retained edited 32bit WAV - so another comparison there!
