I downloaded the 18 mp3 files from nixiebunny.com/seeburg . I found your blog about a year ago . I've been editing tracks via the Speed Music Changer app on my phone. <br />I listen to Seeburg 1000 on the Tune in app. I appreciate what you put on here. Thanks.

All she could afford was budget records that cost like $2 or $3 when a full priced major artist album was $7 or so. Here in NZ, we did not have lables like Crown or Gilmar, but a notorious one called "Music for Leisure" run by someone called Hogton Hughes who was very young when he started mostly pilfering songs off Pickwick records and numerous British cheap labels like Marble Arch and Embassy. He also recorded local polka, country, classical and easy listening artists. We also had the Solid gold series here which ran from 1971 to 1984 and had several spinoffs afterwards. Hughes also dabbled with Children's records and ran a racist label called Sambo records which featured a Maori child made to look like a stereotypical black "Topsy" or "Piccaninny" - this was as late as 1972!<br />Solid gold, which I collect was not your TV series (Which did air here with our "Thats country" - NZ's answer to the grand ole opry as late as 1985!), was a series of records released every 4 or 5 months, that had 20 hit songs crammed on to a single 33rpm record. To fit that many songs, they were faded out before they ended (Each song got 2m 45s tops and by 1978 the average song was 3m 30s) and about 5 or 6 would be songs by local artists or obscure acts who had a song that spent 1 week at #37 or #89, so you got 14 hits, the vinyl was thin and cheap, hissed and popped like your budget albums and was just awful. They were sold at $5 a record and often saturation advertising was done, along with numerous tie in sets like 20 Dynamite hits and Disco Inferno (K Tel krap sold well here too), we also had the knock off albums like "20 super hits", "20 Country and Western hits" and the fact they were soundalikes was in tiny letters.<br />Bright covers often in cheap cardboard sleeves with a badly pressed record with a plain cheap yellow or white label (Hallmark, Carnation or Music for Leisure). Most of the songs came off the English "Top of the Pops" knockoff series and lesser quality albums - like Englands Top 10 (Usually the budget albums that had soft core porn covers in the 70s).<br />Yes I find budget and knockoff music heaps of fun!Bearhunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07196876077994083259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851346352223277416.post-32927306654273343362023-11-18T05:26:00.894-07:002023-11-18T05:26:00.894-07:00That «Temptation» is really superb !

These parts have been classified as coming "most likely from a 1951 production of Radio Frankfurt". The author apologizes for this wrong assumption. New evidence, above all the identification of the voices, and an entry in a radio journal, now make a correction necessary and possible. These excerpts come from the 1948 NDR Hamburg production with Helmut Melchert, Margot Guilleaume and Siegmund Roth, the Hamburg Radio Orchestra played under Harry Hermann Spitz. The original tape no longer exists.<br /><br />http://www.soundfountain.com/allegro-royale/catalogue.html<br />Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869894623354298880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851346352223277416.post-61946671020276300642022-11-02T14:27:02.798-06:002022-11-02T14:27:02.798-06:00Very well sung and surprisingly with little surfac...Very well sung and surprisingly with little surface noise.
