This list is transferred almost directly from a not always carefully entered database that is kept within a vintage program that has quirks of its own, so errors in capitalization, classification, and spelling surely remain. It was posted here in part for my own convenience in finding tunes to listen to when the radio or the Internet are not providing satisfaction, but its reflections of taste may provide some amusement for others, and perhaps be of use otherwise. First class reproduction equipment is vital to getting the most out of any decent possibilities among thist list.
Keeping track of sources and "date added" were begun fairly recently. Duplicates come from either finding a use for more than one media or being in both my wife's and my own collection when we combined them in 1986." TP" among the media are casettes, which have their faults, but mostly remain higher in (at least potential) sonic quality than MP3 files; LPs and CDs inherently offer possibilities more than 10 times better. |
