Some DWSLPs
« on: January 31, 2018, 06:17:51 PM »

Had a bit of an upgrade/ re-ripping session at the weekend and some De Wolfes got the FLAC treatment.  You've heard all these before but they might sound a bit nicer on the ears.



Another great Nick Bantock cover and a great LP from Gordon Grant. 
Used in The Sweeney and in 'Prisoner Cell Block H' it's great small scale TV drama cues; bass and drums heavy.

Thank you Retro. All three are really great upgrades for me.
I must say De Wolfe covers are the ones that more of every one else remind me to my first steps in this world. "must" classics, and back graphics too.

Thanks a lot! Been wanting to check that Stretch LP for quite a while. The Arvay one is also new to me, and it seems super interesting.

Right on, Retro!
I'm with Greta here -- De Wolfe (and KPM) are the sparks that started it all for me.

This brings back painful memories. I was given this chance to step into the world of library much earlier, but I didn't take it. When I was 20 I found a full of box of 60-70's De Wolfe LPs from a fleamarket. I was curious what they were and bought maybe 6 with tempting covers. I remember I picked Atomic Butterfly, but none of the rest. At home they didn't work for me, as I was mostly after experimental and psychedelic music. So I took all of them to a record shop, where the guy told me that some of these could be valuable (this was early 2000's, so the fact wasn't so well known yet). He took maybe one or two and gave me little credit. The rest I took in my rehearsal space and... scratched them all over to make loops for experimental music. Now I just wish I could go back time and check the full box through and see what it included, and buy much more and not destroy anything.  :'(

Oh God, roope, I'm feeling that pain.  I found tons of Boosey & Hawkes for £2.50 a pop and did buy loads but I had little money and left loads too.  I was picking up drama/ suspense stuff at the time and don't wanna think about the SBH 3052 I probably left sitting there!  They all had a green sticker on the spine which you might have seen on my pics at some point so I'd easily spot it...

Not complaining though- I've had a few good hauls over the years.  All of these DWSLPs were from a 800 LP haul and I think I had the vast majority of De Wolfes after 3300.

Thank you, Retronic!

The first 2 were upgrades from horrible mp3 copies. Stretch is one I never had, but had long hoped for.

Stack, the zip files probably got corrupted during the download.
If you're on Mac I suggest you to download a decompressor called Keka (free).
Otherwise try to download them again.

Thanks so much for these Retro, particularly "Dangerous Connections" :)
(and thanks Greta for the Keka tip, the extraction worked fine once I got that).
