Here we are, pursuing our goal of playing vintage audio through contemporary equipment. In this case, a 1929 disc by Frank Braidwood (‘The Cowboy Baritone”) while he was over in the U.K., taking a break from making the Western films in which he was very popular. The video is, hopefully, self-explanatory; but we must give our great thanks to www.americanradiohistory.com for their superb collection of British vintage wireless magazines - a veritable gold-mine of information. Of course, their vast archive of U.S. magazines is stupendous, and it would take a lifetime to read & study them. Also, we found it extremely difficult to record a disc from a loudspeaker. In fact, if we had known how difficult it was going to be, we probably would never have made this video! If one wishes to demonstrate a mechanical (acoustic) gramophone, there is no option but to use a microphone. Still, it would seem that any replayed audio recorded ‘second-hand’ by a microphone is always pretty crummy. This means (a) recordings made from mechanical machines are never truly representative of the quality of the actual performance of the machine; and (b) recordings made from a loudspeaker are even worse! Also, it seems that KZitem may sometimes change the sound track to some extent, during the processing of the video. Anyhow, to make amends, we have also transferred the Frank Braidwood side “Tell Me More About Love” (Piccadilly 394) using modern methods. The disc is at the top of this page: normanfield.com... - .
