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. —www.johnblair.us Last edited: Jun 08, 2021 20:49:29 |

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. —Woody D |

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!!). https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?format=Vinyl&q=chevelles+blue+chevelle Meanwhile, a little teaser: ALL of the records featured on next month's "Bad News" podcast will be instrumentals. Available on August 1. —www.johnblair.us Last edited: Jul 12, 2021 11:36:56 |

Thank you John. I think. Those little bits of history about the songs really add to the show for me. But the hour goes by way too fast. —Woody D |

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!). —Sean Surf CD's / Vinyl / Fanzines / DVD's |

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. —www.johnblair.us Last edited: Aug 08, 2021 13:07:59 |

I only JUST now saw this topic. Serves me right for not spending some free time here every day. Lesson learned. I'll catch up. Thank you John for all you do for surf music! —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. |
