Hi All

Well I just went and did another transfer with the nice turntable I got for Christmas - this time I dug out my copy of Me and Bobby McGee on 45RPM. This version has never been released to CD. This is the one with louder handclaps and piano added.

My 45 is a re-issue, the "Back to Back Hits" series, but it's still the 45RPM remix. However, after copying it to my computer and then combing the wav file over trying to remove ticks and pops, I noticed that only the noise was in stereo. The track is mono! I don't know if I ever noticed that before.

I did get about as good a transfer as you can expect. Since it was in mono, I converted my stereo track to mono and made a mono MP3 from it. The way I mixed the two channels actually allowed me to get rid of a little bit more noise.

I'll leave this link up as active for a month or so, like I've done for the other couple of 45RPM remix transfers I've done since Christmas.

PS -a photo of the 45 label. I notice no S after the M17782 number, the other side of the record - IYCRMM has an S there, I'm assuming that means stereo, as that side indeed stereo. I may have to search for a stereo version of this now.

PPS- if anyone ever wants one of these 45RPM tracks after I've taken them out of my FTP share folder, just ask and I'll get them to you. But don't ask for tracks that were officially released digitally though, I won't do those.
