Subject: (exotica) Quincy Jones and Saver's
I'm not sure how many Saver's stores there are out
there, but one moves in next to my local Best Buy.
Saver's is a national chain of thrift stores. I guess
there's big money in thrift store owning, who'd of known.
Anyway, I had a 5 dollar credit at Saver's and I went in
yesterday and they actually had some decent records, Les
Baxters "Ports Of Pleasure" in Stereo, Anita Kerr/ Rod
Mckuen's "Earth", Tom Dissevelt & Kid Baltan û "Song of
the Second Moon" and Quincy Jones' "Gula Matari".
The Quincy Jones looked especially interesting even
though it was a bit beaten up. I can usually restore
minor problems. Anyways, there are 2 rather long and
awesome songs on the album. The title track (13 min.)
and a tune called Hummin'(8 min.). The album is from
1970 and these 2 songs are remenisant of Basic Hips
upload from 2 weeks back, "Music from the Adventurers",
but none the less quite unique.
If anyone would like to hear these I could probably
upload them as mp3s, but be warned they'll be large even
at a lower VBR sample rate. I think they'll be worth
the time though and a nice addition to "The
Adventurers". The other 2 songs off the album are not
at all like these 2 and not worth the energy of up or
down loading.
Drop me a line if you think I should upload these babies.

more stuff i've been meaning to recommend. these are definitely above
average library comps; i know some people here will dig the crazy
chipmunk wordless vocals on track 2 of Nuggets.

"Tom Jones Live In Las Vegas" is that the one with him
singing "Wichita Lineman"? I think I have a very, very
beat copy of this. I do love that Wichita Lineman
though. I've got about 10 versions and I'm always
looking for more. I'd like to do an entire CD of
just "Lineman"(as us hard-core fans of the song like to
call it). Mendes and Brasil '66 do the best version,
Sammy Davis Jr. or maybe Mr. Jones do the weirdest
version. Actually the weirdest version is the German
version that I think you gave me. In any case they're
all sweet to me.
You passed on Springsteen, but didn't ya know that
he's "The Boss". I mean he is still "The Boss" isn't
he? I hope noone else became "The Boss" while I wasn't

Add my name to this list. Toast says"this is a corrupted mpeg file " and
won't accept it.Real Player plays it with no problem.
I hope this doesn't send this project into the "more trouble than it's worth

Subject: Re: (exotica) upload of the week
Crap! It's my fault. I guess the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix
it" applies here. These were recorded at a lower sampling rate of 22KHz, to
allow the processing of noise reduction and various other operations to go
faster on my outdated computer.
So, aside from the variable bitrate encoding last week that a number of
people had problems with, the only difference between this week's upload and
previously successful ones are the 44KHz vs. 22 KHz. These are mono too,
cuz the record is mono.
I wonder if there is a way to change Toast to accept 22KHz. Anybody? (Roy
:))
Looks like I need to stick with constant bitrate, 128 kbits, 44KHz. I never
heard a peep out of anyone then.
How bout the rest of you? Problems? No problems? Don't even bother? I'm
no techie so your feedback is welcome.
Sorry 'bout the trouble - it will get fixed.

If you want to collaborate on an All Wichita Lineman CD, count me in.
I found 15 versions on CDR and I'm pretty sure I could find a few more if I
went through the records that haven't been "digitized".
One of my favorites is by an 80's band called "Naked Prey".
The rest are:
Gil Trythall
Billy Vaughn
Al Hirt
Peter Appelyard
Soul Symphony
101 Strings
Mike Leander
Peter Nero
Ronnie Aldrich
Tony Hatch
Young Holt Unlimited
Brass Menagerie
Ray Charles Singers
Andy Williams
let's do it.

not sure this is 100% pertinent, but The KLF included a track in their 1990
ambient house masterpiece "Chill Out" whose title was -if I'm not wrong-
"Wichita Lineman was a song I once heard"
copies of US pressing of the album should be still around on TVT records.

Toast will only accept 44khz because that is what an audio CD is sampled at
and an audio CD must be at 44Khz. You can upsample the files with a program
like Peak or Soundedit or export them from Quicktime at the required
sampling rate. That will fix it.
BTW if you are sampling at 22Khz you are compromising the fidelity a bit.
22Khz means an absolute upper frequency of half that ie 10Khz - well below
the levels available to the human ear. Not that it matters too much after
mp3ing them at 128Kps.
Keep the albums coming though. They are a real weekly treat. Thanks.

I've just had a closer look at one of the files and it is actually encoded
as an MPEG-2,layer3 file rather than as an MPEG-1,layer 3 file which is the
normal mp3 encoding. This may be confusing some peoples playback and /or
format conversions.

So it's the 44KHz, not the 16 bit? Sorry, if I sound stupid, but I'm not an expert in these things.

I don't see how I can export a file with Quicktime. All I can do with my Quicktime is play files.
