Please. Bing Crosby. 78rpm Brunswick 1932

[murraymae]

One of the few perfect vocals ever recorded. Just beautiful and effortless. genius. Eddie lang on guitar equally faultless, but tragic.

You'd have been better off using the John R. T. Davies transfer from the Crosby "Jonzo" CD series.

@SatchmoSings Maby, but this is the original 78rpm from 1932, and a 78rpm record from these days has some needle noise. The needle noise is a part of listening to a 78rpm record!

@northatlantic78rpm First of all, John R. T. Davies used all original 78s, too; where do you think he got all the original material from?

2ndly, you're not using the right needle which also explains the "blast" that you're getting; the needle you're using is too small and is partially being swallowed up in the groove; the industry didn't adopt standards until 1941 and didn't really implement them until after WWII.
