Specialist CD transfer Service.
We transfer and convert Vinyl LP, EP and 45 records to CD quality using specialised Audio Restoration techniques.
We use the same Audio Restoration techniques to transfer Cassette Tapes and convert them to CD quality.
We transfer, convert and restore Shellac 78 records to the highest possible standard with specialised Audio Restoration techniques.
After digital Audio Restoration the finished CD can be supplied in any format of your choice. Whether you have an iPod, iRiver, Creative Zen or any other player the finished Cassette or Vinyl Transfer can be in MP3, Flac, Musepack, Monkeys Audio, Ogg Vorbis, WMA, AIFF, Nero Digital/AAC, Wavepak, ALAC or Wave instead of normal Redbook Audio standard - but only one format.
Analog to Digital transfers can be made of any Genre of Music or spoken word, it makes no difference.
Please be aware that tracks supplied in any of the "lossy" formats cannot be recovered to a higher quality - by me or anybody else. The only way, would be to do a full transfer and restoration.

Unfortunately, all those Audio Cassette tapes and Records that you stored away are quietly degrading and are certainly in a worse condition than when you first stored them - which doesn't mean that they are only fit for the trash, it just means that you should be considering preserving them as soon as possible - one thing for sure, they won't improve with age!!

Can the Audio Sound Restoration of Records and Cassette Tapes produce results matching CD quality?
Some commercial re-issues on CD have been taken from Vinyl or even Cassette - so Yes!!!
The easiest way to explain the benefits of Audio Restoration is simply to listen.
(The "before" samples can be found elsewhere on the site).

This Jazz item originally recorded in 1944 is taken from a mid-50s LP release from the UK. The track itself fairly typical of Vinyl in reasonable condition, nowadays.
The track moves between the initial transfer to the restored version about every 36 seconds.

 ^{(spend a few minutes listening to the difference)}
Even material with a high level of surface noise is not beyond redemption. Have a listen to this before and after combined clip from an early 50's Shellac 78 using the Philips equalisation curve.

If the Record or Cassette is in reasonable condition and originally recorded on decent Vinyl or Tape then the it's possible to liberate the music from the mush using specialised Audio Restoration techniques - have a listen.

This Vinyl sample is taken from a 1954 Decca mono LP which whilst not in too bad condition provides quite a challenge due to the low level content and a solo piano performance. The piano itself being one of the more difficult instruments to restore.
The track is from Liszt Recital #2 with Peter Katin on Piano.

The next sample is from a Decca 1950 mono LP and although it arrived in a sorry state it illustrates how looks can be deceiving. Part of the sellers description was "possibly unplayed" - think it meant "impossible to play", because of the dirt.
The sample is from "Die Fledermaus" by Johann Strauss with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Clemens Krauss.
A good piece of Decca valve technology. Wide range of instruments and dynamic range - runs about 8 minutes so may take a few seconds to load, but its worth it!!!

Audio Restoration isn't limited to Vinyl LPs'.
Here we have a Vinyl 45rpm record from 1956 on the UK Decca label, that has "scrubbed up" well.

(Many more short samples dotted around the site - why not have a listen? - many are worst case scenario to highlight particular problems.)

There are no testimonials on the Site - why?
Simple, I prefer that the Audio Restoration samples do the talking.

Can it be done cheaper?
It certainly can - but not to this level of quality.
The service is designed to provide the optimum audio restoration of your media and there is no "quick fix", I'm afraid - why settle for less?

Still unsure? - the service is offered as "TRY BEFORE BUY" for cost of return postage (see Cost of Transfer page for details).

If those golden oldies were worth storing and keeping - why not have them cleaned up restored and transferred to CD?
Audio Restoration can produce some quite amazing and surprising results, when applied to analog audio formats and depending upon the source material it is possible to capture and retain much of that distinct analog sound.

Why use OLDIES made GOODIES to convert and transfer your LPs', 45s', 78s' and Cassettes to CD?
There are of course many other people out there providing similar Services, but at this price point and quality I'm confident that OLDIES made GOODIES is very, very competitive.

But - I would say that!!!

So, have a look and listen there's lots of sites out there with "before" and "after" samples to make a comparison with - I do regularly.
