About Me

My Photo
Folk & Jazz fan, specialising in vinyl restoration. Although I would prefer to only post albums that I have paid for, or those of close friends, I am open to suggestions and offers of rare Folk items that need tender care and restoration, provided the supplier has the right of ownership of the physical item. NOT JUST an MP3 COPY of it. To give you an idea, I am prepared to restore vinyl belonging to another person, IF I receive a decent quality scan of the front, back and any relevant information that comes with the LP, preferably at least 2400 by 2400 quality, (600DPI scans for back) along with the sound files in FLAC format as waves are a bit too large to transfer. Then I will check their suitability for restoration. I try to maintain the requirement for a decent set of scans for each item, where possible, as I feel the music is incomplete without it. Sometimes this is just not possible as a lot of my stock came from broadcasting organisations that had their own heavy card sleeves, with information relevant to their prime function, that of providing the disc-jockies with basic details to pass on to listeners. I do wonder what happened to all the original artwork?

Tracks and Artist Details  
Totally out of keeping with what I normally find with LP's side two on this one was better than side one, in fact side two was completed in less than 1 hour, where sometimes I can spend that long on one track, pity some of the earlier ones were not that good..                      


Download contains both sides of the LP, front and rear scans, plus the 
track title panels as .PNG files.

Dear Gonzo, Thanks a million for your sterling work on the Topic Series and many other wonderful albums. I've got many of them either on vinyl or cassette tape but they are so much easier to access and catalogue in digital format and your files are wonderfully bright and clear. It's great to be able to listen to these old tracks again. All the best, Chris.
