Guys,
I've been wanting to post up some large files of KPM music that I've been working on with my Cool Edit Pro to give a bit of a sample of how they are turning out. They sound incredible and it's as if they've been on CD instead of vinyl all along. The files are MP3 Pro, 128 kbps, and range from 2000 to 3000 in size.
I've been wanting to throw some of these up to let some of you guys listen to how they've been turning out; in another section here I've posted about wanting to do some trading to fill gaps in my KPM and Bruton collection. I'm kinda serious about collecting and I enjoy the music for what it is. I'm not a DJ in a club and I don't make re-mixes with them. I sometimes do use these as backgrounds in home videos and they really give that extra touch to it.
I've had some contact with Sermad, LDJB, and some other guys on here about getting copies/clones/dubs, etc but that never really panned out; nothing's come of it. So I figured, let 'em HEAR what I've been doing, that these really sound decent and that I'm not just some dope out here blowing steam about wanting the music with nothing to offer. Been collecting library since 1990, fan of it for longer, and always looking to expand it. However I have more libraries on CD than on LP and I want to tip the scales. I've been communicating with a chap down there in Australia and we've been trading for a couple of years, but he doesn't have it all yet.
These MP3s are pretty much "re-mastered", coming directly from the vinyl and have clicks/pops removed, dynamic range expanded, noise and hiss reduction, and some equalization to them. For some quick samples visit my home page at: http://home.att.net/~tbirddmnd/ and scroll down to the MP3s at the bottom. These came DIRECTLY off the vinyl and were run through Cool Edit Pro. The exception is the file seeking the ID of a track - it came from a cassette tape. These are 96 kbps - transferred through Real Player and not Cool Edit.
Any thoughts as to where I can upload some more for your enjoyment AND discernment? I only have MP3 Pro at my disposal and 128 kbps is the lowest I can get them down to. When I burn them onto CD-R they are wave files at a full 1411 kbps. Trust me, I can put the sample audio on eBay vinyl library auctions to shame.
My posts are in the Wants section, titled "Looking for CD-Rs/MDs of KPM and Bruton". I have a lot to clone in return so give a look. I've currently got about 40 KPM volumes left to "re-master" before I start on my Brutons.
Thanks!

, but I really would love to have that '79 bus. In fact I made a page about the bus here:
