My apologies again - the Foerster symphony files were again off-pitch. A new set of files is available in the comments to this post and the original post.
It turns out that my turntable is off speed. A new turntable is on order. I am stuck, however, with the same operator.
I discovered the problem by checking the pitch of the transfer with a recent commercial issue. I am told that a best practice is to check the speed before posting, and I will be adopting that procedure in the future.
| Many blogs feature music from old LPs; usually rips from CD reissues. Very few (like, none) concentrate on the music from the 10-inch LPs that were fairly common from the first several years of the long-playing record, roughly 1948-57. This blog does. We also make room here for other LPs and even 78 and 45 singles from the pre-stereo era. The title of the blog is an homage to an R&B record of the same name by Bullmoose Jackson and His Buffalo Bearcats. (Not sure why a moose would be fronting a band of bearcats, nor why they would be from Buffalo when Jackson was from Cleveland.) The Moose was selling double-entendre blues; we are promoting primarily pop music and classics, although all genres are welcome here! |

Don't be hard on yourself, Buster. These things happen. And you get a new turntable to play with! That's a good thing. I bet it does lots lots of neat tricks. :) I need a new needle, it's been a long time...
When you consider how many big recording companies have issued and reissued and rereissued important documents off-pitch for decades, and consider, on the other hand, how quickly you correct these errors, I think you may be forgiven.
Incidentally, my lack of comments lately have nothing to do with the value of your posts, but more to do with my life's travails.
Charlot - Thanks so much for your note. My best regards to you! Hope things turn around soon.
