Accidentally ended up doing two vinyl shows at the radio station. 1st one didn't turn out too well because of technical issues. This is the Redux. sporklift posted:Haha drat. ItS a CollEcTor'S iTEm!

Or even worse get to the studio and the rest of the building (warehouse artspaces) had turned into a rave for the night haha.

Hey vinyl thread, I'm hoping y'all can give me some guidance. My mom gave me a record of her father doing an interview on the local radio in 1951, a month before he died in the Korean war. She wants me to get it digitized, which I assume would be best done by a professional, but the record looks pretty rough from fingerprints and age and whatever else. I know there are plenty of cleaning kits and techniques, but they're all for mass-produced records, and since this looks like it was made in the radio station and is so important, I really don't want to gently caress it up by using something that scratches it or accidently melts it because I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not above paying someone to clean it professionally, but before I take it to the local record store, does anyone know about this type of record, and if there's anything I need to keep in mind re: restoring it? I'm pretty lost and I just want to make sure I do it right.

That disc looks pretty moldy based on your pictures. I think this is something to work with a professional on since it’s in such rough shape and is of such importance to you. This is a presto disc, it runs at 78 rpm, and it plays from the inner groove out. https://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?t=111494 Hopefully this helps you get started. But yeah, you really should consult with someone who has done this because you care a lot about this. Cemetry Gator fucked around with this message at 03:08 on May 2, 2024 |

It's not even vinyl you're dealing with. 2nd-ing the "seek out a professional" advice.

The addition of the koi improves tone uptake and makes the mids sparkle. Unfortunately this kills the koi.

Classic country and honky tonk 7s. Some rarities in there that I acquired from Frank the Drifter at https://www.mixcloud.com/DollarCountry/ Dude puts on an amazing show. Highly recommend if you like crispy records. Here is my thing. https://www.mixcloud.com/3mdjcollective/pete-moss-country-mix-for-45-day-2024/

Thanks for the advice everyone! Knew it was probably more fragile than normal but I didn't realize the extent.sporklift posted:Thats not a vinyl record. This might be applicable. But yeah. Maybe seek a professional. Thanks for the link, I got in touch with NEDCC and they said they'd be able to digitize it for $500. I guess my siblings and I have our mother's day gift sorted this year.

Be sure to upload the show to Archive.org! Old radio recordings are a treasure.

I probably would just try... Playing it  . Using a 3 mil stylus at a low tracking force. I wouldn't try cleaning it myself though. Those lacquer-coated metal discs can flake apart pretty easily. Luckily yours seems to be in good shape that it should be playable all the way through.

Filling out Big Black with 2 EPs and 2 singles. Next Atomizer which I'll probably get when I go down to pick up the new Shellac album later this month. After that it's off to discogs for their interview EP and SOUND OF IMPACT if I can find someone who'll ship it to Australia for not ridiculous money. Please to enjoy an MP3 download
