Thank you for these Golden Ring albums Retro. The descriptions on the back covers for suggested use are common on most library albums but some of these seem somewhat random when listening to the track itself. Must have been a "bring your child to work" day! :)

Yes, some libraries had crap categorizations or labelling- Media Music/Capitol have no descriptions at all. The most successful ones had great emotive and informative titles that already gave a big clue as to what to expect along with great descriptions.   Most music editors would go for the easier option at time I would think and didn't want to dig for the perfect track.  It is only background music after all

Fantastic records! It was a pity not to have the chance to listen to them in such a quality.

They're all great upgrades for me, and very very welcome.

Thanks a lot Retro.

Awesome. Thank you very much Retro.
Fantastic series, and quite strange no lossless rips of these have been shared before.

It was about time!

Title: Re: Golden Ring | SOUND MUSIC ALBUMS
Post by: Retronic on October 29, 2023, 03:37:51 PM

I’ve made a decent effort to get them clean to get the best rips I could.

Yep, and I appreciate that very much Retro.

Amazing stuff!  I'd never got around to thinking about upgrades for this label before now. 

As always, thanks for supplying them to us mere morals, Retronic!  😉

Title: Re: Golden Ring | SOUND MUSIC ALBUMS
Post by: GradyTate on October 30, 2023, 04:23:01 PM

Thanks Retronic.  These shares have caused me to revisit Golden Ring Records overall and there is a lot of good stuff there.

Hi CIE, I can help out with SMA 32.  Sure this came from Retronic originally anyway.  Sorry, I don't have 47, and have 34 as an MP3.

Post by: Retronic on October 30, 2023, 06:01:03 PM

I have most of them so they are coming- all have been recorded in the last couple of weeks so should be pretty consistent as a set.
I am missing a few on vinyl but got the vast majority and the ones I don't have I'll upload the best rip I have.

Title: Re: Golden Ring | SOUND MUSIC ALBUMS
Post by: tezeta on October 30, 2023, 06:38:27 PM

Many thanks, Retro! My favorite of these was, naturally, the weirdest bit: #6, side B (Peter Thomas's "progressive jazz-rock"). However, noticed that "Apartmenthouse" is a minute shorter than it ought to be. Is this how it is on the record, or was the rip accidentally truncated?

Title: Re: Golden Ring | SOUND MUSIC ALBUMS
Post by: Retronic on October 30, 2023, 06:41:28 PM

I recorded as is- just had a listen to make sure it didn't drop out and we lost a section but it doesn't sound like it.  Printing error perhaps.

What a hell of a project. Ill be all ears for the ones to come.
In the meantime, thanks for n.'s 7&8.

I would like to give something back, what are the numbers you miss Retro?

Title: Re: Golden Ring | SOUND MUSIC ALBUMS
Post by: Retronic on October 30, 2023, 09:03:44 PM

I’m missing these on vinyl but might have FLACs-not checked… 33/34/39/45 and I think my last one is 46, so need any after that.

Title: Re: Golden Ring | SOUND MUSIC ALBUMS
Post by: Greta on October 30, 2023, 09:16:11 PM

My SMA lossless run is pretty scarce, but I have a few to share, and if you already have them, they might be good for someone else maybe?
Uploading now.

Title: Re: Golden Ring | SOUND MUSIC ALBUMS
Post by: Greta on October 30, 2023, 09:50:52 PM

Here are SMA 38, 39, 48, 49, 53.

I'm just dragging these out of my HHD without checking. Hope everything is fine.

Thanks to the op's.
