78RPM Restoration - Glen Gray - Undecided (Shavers) DECCA 64

[scotnick59]

This music will never die, thanks to hundreds of marvellous recordings which CAN be restored. The Big Band Era of 1935-1946 was simply a magical time which will never come again.

[MAnuciao79]

Thanks so much for restoring. I hope this music will never die.

I am NOT "Undecided", I love this one!

Fantastic! Do the records have to be pretty clean, or can they be kinda grungy? I suppose that it can't fix needle chatter from being played on a stiff pick-up. Sounds amazing, though. I, too, am sick of the results heard on most digital re-mastering of these records. I'd rather listen to the original record, because there's just so much more there. ...But you've captured all of that here without the noise!

[Rajamuttu]

No, on second thought, the record IS off-center. Depends on if I'm looking at the "long shot" or the "close up".

@Rajamuttu

The video is a "fake" as are all my videos,when i transferred all these discs I didn't own a camera, So one night I borrowed a camera and filmed a a few discs spinning. I still use that footage 4 years later. at the time when I filmed all these "bits" that turntable in the videos was broken and not set up properly, Its not the Turntable I made the transfer from anyway. Ive used a couple of TT's for transferring over time. and its not the stylus either, But yeah A nice one at that

@ade425mxy

Well, that explains it.

Good job on good work!

@Rajamuttu

I spent a bit of time setting the turntable up and rebuilding the tonearm set up somewhat, Its now ok, but then it was shocking!

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

@Rajamuttu ...Nope, the record is not off center, just the label. Look at the periphery of the record and you'll see that it's concentric.

[Rajamuttu]

Funny how the label and the hole are off-center ,,, but you made sure the record itself was centered. Bully for you!

And you chose the right needle, too!

But the "close-up" suggests that the needle / cartridge / cartridge holder is tilted a bit to the right. Both the real cartridge and it's mirror version on the record should be absolutely parallel to each other.

Then again, it's hard to tell from here.

This IS John Kirby and his Onyx Club Boys; Glen Gray's band never sounded this "loose", nor was it comprised of just six members, as heard here...

John Kirby, bass

Charlie Shavers, trumpet

Buster Bailey, clarinet

Russell Procope, alto sax

Billy Kyle, piano

O'Neil Spencer, drums

..and this was from John's first Decca session, on October 28, 1938.

[IFA1976]

Superb sound quality.

I don't have much of a problem removing clicks, but do you know how to remove the white noise in the background? I can't deal with the low pass filter. Takes the life out the record. When I first started buying 78's, I was amazed at the quality, because from all of the bad restorations I had heard, I assumed that the original must sound like that. But anyway, so can you explain in simple terms how to remove the noise? I'm only 13, I'm no audio genius, and I can only code in T.I. B.A.S.I.C.

[BigBandHeaven]

Great song by a great band. And for good sound you just can't beat a Stanton cart

[flugelmaniac]

wonderful restoration..........all the old school timbre totally intact!...

[tramway58]
