Anyone Know Anything About This ?
Just found a bit more... The company was first formed in 1956 as the Calder Valley Sound Recording Group - a recording studio in Hebden. In 1962 it becomes the Calder Valley Sound Recording Company. In 1964 it changes to Calder Recordings Ltd and starts producing microphones. In 1971 it starts manufacturing professional mixing consoles for TV and radio.

Great minds…

Interesting. Calrec was and is a specialist producer of professional audio equipment, primarily for the broadcasting industry. They started life in 1964 as a manufacturer of microphones and are still based in Hebden Bridge. Naturally they would have had their own studios for testing, recording, etc, and this is a product of that. Company history here: https://calrec.com/history/

Happy Playing Mp3's And Cd's Nottingham
From the article: That's what matters most. After all, it is about the music, isn't it? Put another way, is it the stupidly priced and inaccessible bits of vinyl, owned by a select few, that's most important - or is it the musical legacy? I say it's about the music…

Before you upload, click on them so they open. They should open in a basic image editing app. If not, right click when you open and the option to open it in whatever photo editing software you've got installed should come up (something like that for Windows!) On a Mac, just double click and they'll open in Preview. Press Command and L to rotate left - or Command and R for right. Then save.

Find My Way - Unreleased/unknown Version (Now Identified)
Well, in a nice little development that I thought worthy of reporting here, the YouTube clip of Art Posey's take of "Find my way" has just been shared on Google+ by… Arthur Posey!

Truly Smith - This Is The First Time
Must admit I'd forgotten all about this thread and only came across it when searching for more info on the song and the 45. The unidentified recording of the song is now on YouTube. It's only taken me nigh on four years, but I got there in the end!

Found myself staying up all through Saturday night revisting Treme, the excellent post-Katrina New Orleans drama. Bleary eyed and ready for bed, the marathon watching session ending with this absolutely fantastic sunrise! If this is the view, I must try and be awake at this time of the morning more often!

Artists Who Have Participated On Soul Source
Cecil Washington popped in for a while, as did producer/writer, etc, Paul Kyser, and didn't Lou Baretto stop by to have a natter about "Gone with the wind is my love"? That's all I can recall at the moment. Others will have far superior memories to mine...

Find My Way - Unreleased/unknown Version (Now Identified)
Yes, the acetate's been identified as Art Posey. Based on the info received and the similarities in vocal style, I think there's little reason to doubt that unless someone comes along and knows better.

Find My Way - Unreleased/unknown Version (Now Identified)
Two vids of the Casper Peters song on YouTube have comments from family/friends. Both make it clear that Peters lived and worked in South Florida. One comment states that Peters gigged at the Marco Polo Hotel. There are even email addresses from people connected to Peters if you wanted to get serious or stalker-like about finding out more! Here's one of the Casper Peter's clips with comments underneath it. Reading through this thread again, I see that the clip to the Art Posey track is no longer live. That's because I accidentally deleted my YouTube channel about a year ago. However, I did upload it again here...

New cafe just opened up in sight of us in Aalsmeer's Historische Tuin (historical garden). Thought we'd give it a try this afternoon as the sun's out… A couple of glasses of rose to wash down a fresh salad and to provide refreshment in the afternoon sun. Being self-employed has its advantages.

French Loma? That's a new one on me. None of the US Loma label tracks released in France came out on a French Loma. They were on WB. And Cajun Hart? Got a scan?

Today marks the 70th anniversary of liberation from the German occupying forces in the Netherlands. Coincidentally, the German war machine had its Dutch HQ in Aalsmeer, which is where I live. In celebration of Liberation day, we had a convoy of WWII military vehicles start off on a mission, possibly a trip to the nearby town of Amstelveen. I shot a few video clips and strung them together. You can see the result here...

Still amazed by the sighting of the osprey. Funnily enough, my older brother is a postie in Scotland and spends as much time up the mountains as he can. He told me a couple of years back that when first seeing an osprey he thought it was a heron in both flight and shape. That description always stuck with me and he's right. After expecting a buzzard (because we see them frequently here) my first thought on actually seeing the bird was that it was just a heron - except that the wings, which are just as long, are considerably narrower at the ends. And of course, the markings gave it away as soon as I could see the bird's underside properly. As for the swifts, they were screaming brilliantly as they shot close passed the house at the speed of sound or whatever it is they fly at. With their arrival summer is here as far as I'm concerned.

Typing this while sitting on the back balcony where we've had the most amazing sighting just a few minutes ago. Heard the warning cries of a gull overhead. Presuming it to be harrying something, I looked skyward expecting to see a buzzard. No, unbelieveably it was a flippin' osprey. Iread a couple of years back that they were occasionally seen in this region, but aren't common visitors. Never seen one before (Dad took us to Loch Garten once when we lived in Scotland about 40 years ago, but the birds had quite literally flown), so I'm absolutely amazed to see one from the comfort of our own home. And I can also report a first sighting of swifts, although that was somewhat tame by comparison!

Rita & The Tiaras Original On E-Bay $3,850 And Still 5 Days To Go,
Excellent article I read about a year or so ago about Mr Tefteller. It's entitled "Why I paid $37,100 for one record." As the story explains, there was only one other known copy of this particular blues 78 and it was already in his collection! https://www.fuse.tv/2013/10/why-i-paid-37100-for-one-record
