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! :)
Thanks Retro for the fabulous Golden Ring. Beautiful project.
THKS!!! Peter Thomas was amongst the first authors I started to dig into, after hearing it on your Weekend Set
You're gonna love some of the funky ones coming then.

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!
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.
Thanks.
this is massive retronic. huge thank you !
Wonderful, thank you very much Retronic. :)
Thank you very much!!!
Mladen Franko's SMA 34 is one of my library favorites.
I am actually looking for SMA 32 and SMA 47. Anyone has any rip of those?
Thanks for these Retronic!
Amazing to share all of these.
Can't wait to dig into the quality that is on offer!
Wow- Thanks!
Thanks very much Retronic.
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! 😉
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.

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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.

Thanks Retronic wonderful shares again, really appreciate it. :)
Thanks again!
Love this series, always something interesting on every record :)
Love it. Thx!
Thanks again Retro. Another excellent weekend's work!
My record cleaner has died on me. Wanted to give SMA 11 a good clean as it's an absolute cracker chock full of drum breaks. I'll have to do what I can with spit n polish.
Salute Gentleman Retronic, thank you for your effort and devotion for sharing, bow again
many thanks!
Thank you for vol.10 Retro.
I am very sorry to hear about the untimely passing of your record cleaner...
Thanks a lot Retro for more these rip.
I'll get the cleaner repaired! I use it all the time so wouldn't do without it now.
Great series! Thanks a million Retronic for your beautiful rips.
