ted weems and his orchestra vol. 3 Piccolo Pete (grannyphone)

sorry for the delay, folks.

Here are a group of fantastic electrical recordings by ted weems. Actually I got the volumes mixed up in my head and said that about volume 1, when a reader kindly pointed out to me that they weren't, so sorry about that.

now upon playing these files back I've noticed some clipping. I don't think this is my fault, though I do take everything over about 8000 hz from these vintage recordings.
Tell me if you notice it too and I'll play the record and see if it's present on there.



here's the track list.

historical vol. 11, collector's items 1922-30

hi all,
well it's been a while... for a lot of reasons, the main two being having to start with a new hard drive, and therefore dropbox had to re-upload everything..
but here I am and posts will be much, much more regular as I was just able to buy a few very nice 20s recordings!

a note about this one:
usually I take all the stuff over about 7000 hz from these records, as there wasn't a lot recorded above that frequency in those days and it reduces a lot of lp noise, however I have not been able to do that with this lp it being an early rip and already converted to mp3, so I didn't want to risk losing anything buy further compressing it/altering an already compressed file.
however it isn't that noisey a record, so it doesn't sound at all bad especially once it's on and you're used to it.

here's the track list:
01 - HARVEY BROOKS QUALITY FOUR - frankie and johnnie blues.mp3
02 - HARVEY BROOKS QUALITY FOUR - mistreating daddy.mp3
03 - KANSAS CITY FIVE - get yourself a monkey man.mp3
04 - KANSAS CITY FIVE - louisville blues.mp3
05 - thomas morris and his hot babies - red hot dan.mp3
06 - KANSAS CITY FIVE - get it fixed.mp3
07 - KANSAS CITY FIVE - dark gal blues.mp3
08 - SONNY CLAY ( THE CALIFORNIA POPPIES - you.mp3
09 - SONNY CLAY ( THE CALIFORNIA POPPIES - what a wonderful time.mp3
10 - FIVE MUSICAL BLACKBIRDS - 18th street strut.mp3
11 - FIVE MUSICAL BLACKBIRDS - black horse stomp.mp3
12 - FIVE MUSICAL BLACKBIRDS - hot coffie.mp3
13 - CAB CALLOWAY'S ORCHESTRA - sweet jenny lee.mp3

great stuff as you can see!
and here tis.
