Title: Capitol Hi-Q Reel to Reel Rips - D, S, and X series
Post by: Certainly1080 on January 24, 2024, 09:27:41 PM
Got a bunch of Hi-Q reel rips to share! They’re mainly D tapes, but there are also quite a few X and S reels for good measure. The transfers were made using a TEAC 1230 and recorded through Audacity. 7 ½ IPS is the highest setting my deck supports, so I had to adjust the speed on the majority of them to get it right. Hopefully it's alright if they're mostly mp3 this time. I might provide FLAC files too, but they haven't been split into seperate tracks and still have the spoken intros and test tones.

Some of these reels haven’t previously been available for download. These have been denoted with bold text. I'm grouping them in pairs when applicable for convenience and because that's how the vinyl was issued.

Night of the Living Dead, (LP rip, only includes the 3 cues that have additional electronic effects)

I'm hoping that the rest of the D reels will resurface one day, but I'm happy that I could at least provide some that were tough to track down.

Enjoy!

It's always a great day when some never-before-shared Capitol shows up here. Thanks so much for sharing these. Especially D-107/108, which has some excellent jazz music that's remindful of similar offerings on KPM's library (although they're actually licensed from Raoul Kraushaar's Omar library). I've wanted to hear one of those MR-prefix albums for quite sometime, and it's nice to see this one delivered. I think some of these were also used in Sam Singer's "Courageous Cat" cartoons as well.

Fun fact about X-5/6: SF-58 was used in the Flintstones episode "Flintstone of Prinstone", a rare example of a Hi-Q track being used well after the studio phased out of them in favor of Hoyt Curtin's in-house tracking library.

Many thanks for X-7/8, too, a couple tracks from it were in Gumby.

Finally upgraded from the old version of D-17/D-18 that I had!

Thank you for the share @Certainly1080. You've clearly put a lot of work into this and it's much appreciated. It also means my having to properly catalogue the other Hi-"Q"'s I have to help me strike out any duplicates.

Right on, Certainly! Most of those X-series are new ones for me. Thank you!

X-7 - You may be wondering why there are no names and merely cue IDs. Well, my copy doesn't contain the CB (Bluestone/Cadkin) cues shown on the box, nor is it Ib Glindemann's replacement reel. It seems to be a previously undocumented release consisting of TC tracks. William Loose almost certainly composed them given the cue codes, though I have no way to tell whether or not John Seely was also involved. The original reel might've gotten swapped with the reissue at some point. If someone knows what the proper titles are, that'd be much appreciated.

X-47/X-48 is identical to Sophisticated Jazz and Colourful Light Music from Sam Fox, though with an altered running order. Some songs on the Hi-Q version have different titles as well:
Forever Frantic = Muis for Mother
Club Cool = Night Club
Rock in the Rough = Riff Raff
Jazz Dramatic = Dramatic
Blue Sax = Acte

On another note, I made a list of reels that still aren't available, so I should post that in the general Hi-Q thread soon.

First I searched my Capitol Folders for the TC numbers and found the first track
Then I searched my Synchro Fox files and found a few more
Here's what I have found:
TC-41 Waltz (William Loose & John Seely) [Capitol Hi-Q L-001. 002 Comedy, Domestic, Movement] 1956
TC-45
TC-44
TC-43
TC-313 FM 103 B3 One Night Stand (Bill Loose-John Seely)
TC-314 FM 192 A1 Night Spot (Jack Belasco)
TC-311 FM 103 A2 Happy Shoes (Bill Loose-John Seely)

The other three sound Synchro Foxy to me but don't know.

Anyway Thank you so much for your Capitols!

Your pal,

Doug

Really surprised to see that the track "Agitato Mechanical" in this album wasn't the song heard in Ren & Stimpy. But otherwise, thanks a lot for the album.

This is tremendous. Thank you so much for your generosity.

There are a number of D-series cues used in Ruff and Reddy that I have not been able to find (they sound like Spencer Moore) so this gives me another place to hunt through.

Doug, those Hi-Q name changes! Grrrr.

Here's another example. On X-6, cue SF-60 is King Pin March (Lou De Francesco) that's in Synchro-Fox FM 172. When I was a kid, a local wrestling show used it.
SF-56 is Front Page Headlines (Lou De Francesco).
SF-58 is Hold 'Em March (Larry Simmons).
SF-59 is Forward to Victory (Lou De Francesco)
The others are familiar, too, but I don't have them in my collection that I can find.

I think I found out who the composers are on Capitol Hi-Q D-107, D-108 Dramatic Jazz A1-MR-400 Dramatic Jazz
I searched the prefix MR- in my Capitol Hi-Q folder
MR-473 MYSTERIOSO (Cadkin, Cookerly, Loose) popped up from Capitol Hi "Q" Dramatic Series Sampler Disc
So I conclude that the composers are
William Loose, Jack Cookerly & Emil Cadkin

Your pal,

Doug

Nice, thanks for the info! Out of curiosity, what else does that sampler have on it? I can't find that cue anywhere online, so perhaps it originates from one of the discontinued D reels.

Hi Certainly1080

I don't remember who uploaded the Capitol Hi-Q Dramatic sampler, but the track information can be found inside each track's metadata.

I put it in this temporary file bin.  It expires in six days.

Hey Yowp,
I looked up Hank Simms & found "best known for narrating the opening credits of Quinn Martin TV shows, including The F.B.I., Barnaby Jones, Cannon and The Streets of San Francisco."

Good Call Yowp!

I'm in the process of ripping some L and M reels I own, plus I have vinyl versions of D-29/D-30 and D-133/D-134 on the way. The majority of it's going to be stuff that's not on Soulseek at the moment.

I wanna give a heads up to those of you who want to tag your files correctly, but Philip Green is the composer for D-39/40, not George Hormel. I've already corrected the tags and folder name on Mega.
