erwbol Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Classic quote from that thread via Christiern: "I would test it on an Alice Coltrane disc." The one or two Alice Coltrane CDs I previewed at the record store could have been safely used for target practice with a firearm, but perhaps I just picked the wrong ones, and the store's background noise might have made me impatient.

Scott Dolan Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 As far as I'm concerned there are no "right" ones. I was given a promotional copy Translinear Light, so that's my favorite because I didn't pay a penny for it. It has a moment or two of mediocrity, but that's about the best I can say about it.

Hardbopjazz Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I have to admit I tried this. It does do a decent job in removing a lot of the pops due to dust. But it is not that easy removing the dried glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardbopjazz Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Tom, how did the file transfer finally work out? Get it to work? Not really. The second file the audio is off by 2 seconds from the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Classic quote from that thread via Christiern: "I would test it on an Alice Coltrane disc." After all these years, Scott, you remember me well. Having heard the positive result on Miles, I would consider it a waste of good glue to apply it to Alice Coltrane. Is there, perhaps, a glue that will remove her pseudo spirituality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed S Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I have had the 4 LP Return To Forever Live set since it came out in the late 70s. It was still virtually brand new when the entire set was damaged - as in soaked - in a flood - in my parent's basement. Hey - I was a young college student living at home. At any rate - we are talking a raw sewage type sewer back-up. Very nasty. The box and booklet were destroyed, but I hung on to the LPs - even though they sounded horrible afterwards. Snap crackle and pop like you have never heard. As I had not listened to vinyl for decades, all my LPs were in storage until a year or two ago. I finally picked up a turntable and dragged my LPs out of the crawls space in which they were stored. Of course, I found my RTF LPs and they sounded as nasty as I remembered. So last night - I tried the glue. The results are remarkable. Stunning improvement - just a few residual pops here and there. I thought the RTF albums almost an unfair trial due to the extreme conditions to which they were exposed. So I found a copy of the Blood Swear and Tears album - the self titled one with Spinning Wheel. I played it and it had the requisite snap crackle and pops. After the glue treatment - sounds like virgin vinyl. I am a believer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
