Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66 - Going Out of My Head - Stereo LP

Did You Know? Did you know this channel, The Vinyl Restoration Project, is more than just a channel providing examples of our raw, partially restored, or fully restored audio samples from our archives of some of the best sound engineered legacy recording albums from an analog era long since gone but that we now have our own home studio business, LegacyVMP Studio (), where we intend to help this legacy LP mastered sound ’live again’? To quote the opening lyric from Arthur Conley’s, “Sweet Soul Music“,...“Do you like good music?“ And do you care about the sound quality of this ’good music’, the music that we now lovingly refer to as our treasured legacy recordings from an era of music production long since gone - legacy recordings like the one just cited or cited in this video you are listening to now or “Stand By Me“ by Ben E. King, “Yesterday“ by The Beatles, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You“ by Frankie Valli, “(Sittin’ on) The Dock Of the Bay“ by Otis Redding, “Baby I Need Your Loving“ by The Four Tops, Simon and Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson“, “Rhythm of the Rain“ by The Cascades, “Georgia On My Mind“ by Ray Charles and ’on and on’...? In fact, when we talk about the exceptional sound quality of these legacy recordings and then take a turn and focus on a very special part of the process of the reproduction of this music ’to the presses’, as it were, we begin to realize there is more. It was an unprecedented time in our music production history and the process, from the studios-to-the-pressing plants, included an intentionally crafted sound especially for an uncanny medium(vinyl) that oft times, brought with it, a sound that would actually eclipse the sound of the original master tape. In fact, many are dramatically profound apart from the master tape, folks. But then let’s take the conversation a step further. What happens when you take that piece of it and have it ’joined at the hip’ professionally with today’s incredible advances in audio technologies, to further ’exploit the exploitable’ or ’embellish those embellishments’ that are only found in this uniquely crafted sound? What happens then? Something that can be ’quite profound’ at times within itself, and something that can be quite beautiful to the ears. And even better, something that can easily be made available to the masses where it might otherwise not ever be able to get there in totem. So what does this mean and how is it important to you and me as consumers of the digital forms of these treasured classics? LegacyVMP Studio is a studio that is specially engineered and equipped to produce a digitally revitalized version of this sound and take advantage. In fact, the studio is not only about preserving and promoting this sound(the Legacy LP Mastered Sound,) but we intend to help it ’live and breathe again’ in today’s digital age. How do we do that? By leveraging and utilizing technology to create very high end digital HFE (high fidelity engineered) audio files, and then making them accessible to our incredible mastering studios to be used as they see fit. What will they do with them (digital HFE audio files)? Three things: 1.) use them for their own purposes, for example, to assist with their very own legacy recordings digital conversion and/or rework projects by incorporating them in creative ways, as they only know how, into their current processes for these audio projects; and/or, 2.) further prepare and present them as a ’standalone marketable sound’ to be entered directly into the digital legacy audio supply channels i.e. streaming, digital broad/podcast, download or even repress new vinyl; and/or 3.) prepare them to become the new alternative ’master’ file where no other viable options/alternatives exists, for example, all tape and safety masters and/or multitrack session tapes/stems no longer are applicable for whatever reason i.e. time degradation of source material rendering them no longer usable, natural disaster caused destruction, etc. And so we are beyond grateful to now be able to ’serve-up’ to and support, our incredible mastering studios by acting in a partnership role with them for the greater good of all. “This little studio can produce it and now the big studios are able to use it.” Want to find out more and how you can help raise awareness?
