What a great resource! Really enjoyed and looking forward to more!

I am really pleased with how great the old vinyl sounds. Can you share a little bit about your setup - how you're getting these from 45's to broadcast with such great quality?

Audio Technica turntable (elliptical stylus) through a Sony amp to a Teac CD recorder. CD then ripped to my computer. It's a bit time consuming since pre-production recording is in real time, but the process works well for this purpose.

Once again a very enjoyable show, john.
I can imagine that some of the vinyl record collectors
will add some items to their WANTS list. It sounds easy
but I know myself how much work is in the preparation of
an one hour radio show!
Very well done, John.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Hey John, enjoying your podcasts way over in central VA.

Keep 'em coming.

Would you be interested in selling 'Blue Chevelle' by the Chevelles? Or if anyone has a copy they'd like to sell please PM me.

Thank you, Woody. I appreciate the support. Not selling my copy of that Chevelles' record, sorry. But there's one on Discogs, actually, for only $199 (and it comes with the uber-rare picture sleeve!!).

Meanwhile, a little teaser: ALL of the records featured on next month's "Bad News" podcast will be instrumentals. Available on August 1.

Thank you John. I think. Sad

Those little bits of history about the songs really add to the show for me. But the hour goes by way too fast.

Congrats on the new show John - really enjoying it, and I'm very happy that you are making it available thru Soundcloud - I'm so busy it's hard for me to catch a show at a specific time, so the on-demand option thru Soundcloud is perfect (although I am enjoying the GTF feed as well!).

My "Bad News" podcast #3 for August is now available 24/7 on Soundcloud and streaming 3x/week (Sundays 11 AM, Tuesdays 3 AM, Thursdays 5 PM PST) on GTF Instrumental

An hour of all 1st wave instrumentals this time. I tend to lean more toward the seldom-heard (or never heard for that matter), rarer surf (and similar guitar) records. Check it out.

For all you vinyl disc hunters: John played an unreleased demo acetate by
The Strangers - Windy and Warm, written by John D. Loudermilk.
Lots of great vocal and instrumental music once again with very informative comments. Thanks a million times once again, JOHN!!!

Some of the surf wax played on this month's "Bad News" podcast (label porn for the hardcore).
