The Pre-Code stuff is really a treat. Sex, drugs, slapping, and guns aplenty. No profanity, but none needed.

Nope, just offerings on the HBO/TCM streaming app. They have different genres, and I've been focusing on Noir, Gangster, and Pre-Code. They aren't all "great" but they're all entertaining Plus, most of these are 90 minutes or less, so watching 2,3,4 a day is easy. Fun!

There is just so much variety of timbres (especially syllabic) here in under three minutes...talk about a Christmas Miracle...

Maybe one reel per side? That would depend on the size of the reel and the thickness of the tape. https://richardhess.com/notes/formats/magnetic-media/magnetic-tapes/analog-audio/tape-timing-chart/

That's a (perhaps surprisingly) really good record!

So ATR IS ATR Magnetics, the brand of tape.

That was the only compilation that I ever knew. But there was a Japanese collection of all the Gil Evans charts. https://www.discogs.com/master/870403-Claude-Thornhill-Orchestra-Featuring-Gil-Evans-The-Real-Birth-Of-The-Cool-Featuring-Gil-Evans-Arrang?srsltid=AfmBOoql5QaL6FeG9R1XU8j4c7xEXpPEG87_nRkaexaHeokMVqG74PjT

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_double_tracking The technique was first used by The Beatles on Revolver. 1966 was a few years after any of the three records in question, so homemade does seem likely. Is there any further provenance on the tapes? And what brand is the hardware? Sony used to make RTR decks that would allow "multictrack" recordings on two-track tape by bouncing one track over to another while recording a new one onto the track that was being bounced. I don't think that this is exactly the same technique though. And 15 IPS on the home market was pretty rare until somewhere in the 1970s. So, I was guess homemade, but.. in whose home?

Go get this.

Looks like y'all are soon to be a one-,,,part town) Sorry to hear that We've been one for a few decades now and it truly sucks.

And still is. Other than the unwelcome from the AAJ forum community, it was more than obvious that the owner's focus was on profiting from the product if jazz, not advocating for the music itself. In a way, this place has been a Strata- East of online forums. Here's hoping it stays that way.

I like Myron Cohen now more than ever. You don't hear a voice like that in comedy these days

Wasn't there a s software update at some point that resulted in a major restructuring of some of the tables? Something like that? I know we lost some things that couldn't be rebuilt exactly?

And Maz is still alive!

Keep an eye open for Paul Skenes!
