Chicken Delight Twist

This is a cardboard record with, I suspect, a thin layer of clear vinyl on which the media was recorded. This was made and distributed in 1961 or '62 by the once popular "Chicken Delight" fast food chain. This was among a box of keepsakes given to me by my best friend shortly before she died of cancer. Enjoy!
- P.S., Thanks Lachi for your help.

Yeah! Perfect record-transfer. Do you have the Chicken Delight - Ring-A-Ding cardboard record? Because i'm searching for this song in good quality cause i need to use it in a video. So if you got it it would be awesome if you could digitalize it like this one, thanks!

@musicvision31 Unfortunately I don't have that one.

WOW! Congrats on doing such a SUPERB record-transfer job. My well-cared-for copy doesn't sound nearly this good--this copy sounds more like a genuine vinyl single than a cardboard record! Also, thank-you for not chopping the end off like so many other people. What equipment did you use to get such a clean, detailed sound (without the annoying surface noise) from a cardboard record? I will be enjoying this tune (in good fidelity) for the rest of my life thanks to you. God bless.

A Stanton direct-drive turntable, an Ortofon needle, a Gemini mixer w/ 9-band Eq per channel, and a Sony CD recorder. Between a bit of Eq and, here's the real secret, bouncing it to mono, I was able to greatly reduce the amount of surface noise.

I had looked for other uploads of this before posting mine, and I couldn't find any. Abrupt cut-offs are a major pet-peeve of mine, so I try to be really careful about endings and fade-outs.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the upload.
