AnalogPlanet Radio

Today’s Analogplanet Radio show on WFDU.fm HD2 was sourced excusively from lacquers, with the exception of the first tune.

The show begins with a Frank Sinatra song from Sinatra Sings Great Songs From Great Britain (UK Reprise R9 1006), an album produced in Great Britain in 1962 that was never issued on vinyl in America, supposedly because Sinatra wasn’t happy with his vocals. He’d just finished a grueling European tour and thought his voice sounded tired.

Judge for yourself on “We’ll Meet Again”, a song popular in the UK during World War II that The Byrds covered in an adapted version on the group’s debut album.

Everything else was sourced from lacquers and the sonics are mostly spectacular. Here’s the set list:

Frank Sinatra-“We’ll Meet Again”
The Who-“Pinball Wizard” ”
AC/DC-“Nick of Time” ”
Dave Mason-“Only You Know and I Know”
?-“Rockin’ At the Record Store”
The Casinos-“Then You Can Tell Him Goodbye”
-Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers-“Night in Tunisia”
-Hans Zimmer-“Gladiator Soundtrack”-
The Who-“The Song is Over”
?-“KMPC radio station jingles circa 1956”
James Blood Ulmer-“Lady Blue”
?-“Call Me a Taxi”
?-“Red Skelton Show Bumpers”
Buddy Holly-“Peggy Sue”
Buddy Holly-“Words of Love”
Buddy Holly-“Every Day”
Paul Simon-“Late in the Evening”
Bill Cunliffe-“Someday My Prince Will Come”

Remember: everything but the Sinatra is sourced from lacquers cut from master tapes. Stream here or on the WFDU.fm website, or for full CD resolution sound, download from the embedded Soundcloud application. Enjoy!
