Wow. $15 for a CD-R made from LPs instead of master tapes. What a
bargain. Seems many kind souls here share their LP transfers for free.

Steve

Few do it as well as David. I've purchased several
of his discs and I honestly can't tell they are sourced from
LPs. Your snarky remark wasn't really necessary. David
has been doing this for some years now, and often
posts here with valuble info regarding very obscure
recordings.

I say long live the ReDiscovery and HaydnHouse operations. They're
appreciated and needed. At the same time, it's wonderful that there
are people such as Jan Winter and others who share their wealth and
time.

And thanks, especially, to Don for expanding my vocabulary. You sent
me to Random House Webster's College Dictionary (1991). While the
guys and gals at this dictionary apparently don't list the adjective,
they did advise me that a "snark" was an animal -- "a mysterious,
imaginary" one, and that this term was "coined by Lewis Carroll in
his poem _The Hunting of the Snark_." Don, I am going to 1) check out
the Carroll poem and read it (I'm curious as hell now) and 2) use the
adjective snarky at my earliest opportunity. thanks This group has
all sorts of benefits. :- )

Tim,
Thanks very much for your words of praise. They are very much
appreciated.
To remove the clicks and pops properly without side effects is not an easy
process.
To remove LP rumble to some degree while retaining the very "lows" is
another process
which takes much time. To improve the DR of the older recordings is other
step.
To improve the original sound is another process when it is needed of
course. (All original session engineers are / were not prefect in the
craft, nor is / was the recording gear - including microphones and
placement -used.)
Add all this up and Dave and I could easily charge even more. But we do
not.
The bottom line is that we love doing what we do while overall sales are
never that numerous.
As for the sentence above marked off in (....) I wish all in this newsgroup
could listen to what I engineer at my
own concert recording sessions just to demo where I am actually coming
from - experience-wise - in the
fascinating process of making my own symphonic, choral and chamber music
recordings. See www.sd-associates.com . This
listening and recording experience is at the foundation of all our
LP -sometimes tape - to CD transfers.
No that'll-do-for-government-work" attitude here, It is "labor of love" for
music and that is a guarantee even if
we get a few "piastres" (fr. can argot for dollars) in the process for our
dedicated efforts.
Pierre Paquin www.HaydnHouse.com.
P.S. The Rozsa CD now available at ReDiscovery http://www.rediscovery.us
should be a must have. We have the-very-hard-to-get LPs too.
Please give it a try. Another Rozsa favorite CD here - orch sound is a
bit muffled - is the Telarc / Kunzel CPO/
Mormon Tabernacle Choir of Three Choral Suite new arranged: Ben Hur, King
of Kings, and Quo Vadis. My favorite of the three is
"Quo Vadis". Quo vadis, Domine, Where goest thou, Lord. This CD is readily
available at Amazon, et. al.
