Since it seems I’m the primary provider on the Net for the audio from the two flexi-discs that Marvel Comics produced in the 1960’s, I thought I’d offer them with superior sound compared to what I posted five years ago. Here they are, remastered for the best possible audio fidelity.
The Voices of Marvel
Scream Along With Marvel
Technical notes:
- Technics turntable, Shure cartridge, AGI pre-amp, AKG headphones.
- Captured using Audacity from pre-amp line level output.
- 24-bit resolution, 48 kHz sample rate.
- Click removal used sparingly. No other noise reduction or equalization.
- A dimple in the flexi-disc causes a recurring thump between 3:15 and 3:35.
- The left channel in each recording was deemed better, forced into 2-channel mono, then exported as lossless WAV files.
- WAV files converted to MP3 at 256 Kbps CBR.
