POTP April 67 / Fluff Show / TOTP April 67 inc Hendrix Audio

[richardwoods]

Well I've finally started to go through the reel to reel collection and copy stuff over to CD-R Audio.
This is the first tape I've completed. The transfer went well and I'm pleased with the results. What should I do with the digital copy? Will an archive want it? Do any You Tube wizards want to synch the Wind Cries Mary audio to the silent film? If someone wants to PM me for a copy, I can do a limited amount of copies. Will try to work out how to post it on You Tube, advice is welcome!

First of all this is a reel to reel tape rescued from a skip in Tennyson Road Grimsby in 1981.

For those that are interested, I'm seriously old school. I've used an Akai 4000DS reel to reel, via a Leak Point 1 Stereo Pre Amp to a JVC CD-R Audio recorder. Great results

It is a great find Richard. And I am pleased you have copied it to modern formats.

Radio shows from the pirate ship/early Radio 1 period (c. 1964-71) are always fascinating.

Hopefully more to follow, will keep you all in the loop as I work my way through the tapes. So far just a distinctly non missing Monty Python episode soundtrack, "Mr Luxury Yacht, It's 9 o clock and in 15 minutes it will be 9.15", etc. Raised a smile and excellent quality lead recording from my TV in the 70's but thankfully not missing. I know that there should be at least 3 more POTPs from 72, 77 & 78 (ish) and a ruck of Early Paul Jones Blues Nights, 85 to 88. Salvaged about 6 CDs worth of the South Wold Jazz Band Live at Louth Folk Club 1965 from a 7" reel for a friends father and former band member George Sykes. Great stuff if you like Trad Jazz. Again, please let me know if anyone wants a copy. I'm more than happy to run off copies, the more there are out there, the greater the chance of survival.
