Rest in Peace Jo Stafford

Just wanted to let everyone know that Jo Stafford passed away on Wednesday of Congestive Heart Failure. I just heard it on the radio today. She was 90 years old. She will be missed.

Sorry I haven't posted anything recently. Have a lot going on right now, and just haven't had the time to post. It is a lengthy process. I have to transfer the songs to my computer, try to clean them up if they are scratchy and also remove the 60Hz hum. Then I have to scan the album jacket in 4 separate passes and then stitch them together to form the full image.

Hopefully this coming week I will post here and on my Christmas Record Blog

I want to thank fellow blogger's who have already done links for my posts on their blogs.

Though this is truly a labor of love it takes a lot of time and effort to copy the vinyl to my computer and clean up the audio and to scan the album art. Everything I post is from my own personal vinyl collection and not something I found on other blogs and not taken from CD's. I have been collecting vinyl records for over 45 years.

Notice About The Music I Post

If you are the copyright holder of anything I post and object to it being here, please advise me and I will remove the download link. Most of what I post is from 1972 or earlier and long since out of print.

I try to remove all the clicks, crackle and noise as well as 60Hz hum from my recordings using CoolEditPro and iZoTope RX. Some clicks may still be present, but do not interfere with the sound. I have had some mp3's that don't sound right after I remove the clicks as it physically changes the sound where the click was and muffles the music. If that happens, I will do the best I can at removing the clicks without degrading the music.
Here I will post some of my favorite Non-Christmas Records. Some of my favorite female singers from the 1950's & 1960's are Jeannie C. Riley, Sandy Posey, Cilla Black, Glenda Collins, Patty Duke, The Pixies Three, Marcie Blane, Little Peggy March, The Raindrops, Jackie DeShannon, Nancy Sinatra, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Dottsy, Lacy J. Dalton, Margo Smith, Petula Clark, Tanya Tucker, Dusty Springfield.
Some of my favorite male singers from the 1950's & 1960's are Elvis Presley, Ed Ames, Eddy Arnold, Tom Jones, Paul Peterson, Dean Martin, Mark Dinning, Jay & The Americans, Johnny Ray, Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Box-Tops, The Dave Clark Five, Jim Reeves, Jim Nabors, Jack Jones, Vic Damone, Robert Goulet, SSgt.
