Except where noted, all recordings were made using the exact same signal path and levels;  Technics SL1200
Turntable, with an Audio Technica  AT 150MLX Cartridge,  through a tube phono amp and into an EMU 0404
soundcard (AKM AK4396 converters). The tracks were normalized, and very minor level adjustments made, but were
not digitally processed any further before transferring to wav files.  Each song contains a light audio watermark.

Most of my records are in excellent condition, but clips from noisier copies may be included
here in order to present certain pressing variations. Most of the clips were transferred under
identical conditions. However further level adjustments may be necessary for accurate
comparison. This page features more common pressings, and is a work in progress. Each
.wav file contains a light audio watermark. Comment and critique is welcomed.... Enjoy!
