Vinyl Transfer & Restoration by Prof. Stoned
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prof. sez:
Here's another rarity from the Stoned archives.
I found this minty single in a large collection recently acquired by the record store where I work.
I was suprised to hear that the A-side didn't contain Peter French's vocals (as heard on
"In hearing of Atomic Rooster" but John Du Cann's.
The mixes are dedicated mono and as far as I know do not appear on CD
(but I haven't researched this thoroughly).
This was transferred from an NM copy.
The record is breathtakingly quiet and after a light declick, folding the two mono channels together
and some manual restoration work, I think I've achieved an almost tape like quality.
There is absolutely no groove wear.
The record was professionally and carefully cleaned in three steps using Audio Intelligent’s
Enzymantic formula, Super Cleaner Formula, and Ultra pure water on a VPI 16.5
(using VPI brushes) and Nitty Gritty mini-pro 2.
Enjoy!
