Something I learned when doing this LP: Jan & Dean and The Beach Boys covered each other’s music.
Surf City is The Beach Boys (Brian Wilson)
Little Old Lady from Pasadena is a Jan and Dean song. (Roger Christian)
Check out the pitch/depth meters working hard (Thanks flo) on Barbara Ann. Apparently Dean sang on the 1965 Beach Boys version—but this version here is Jan & Dean in 1962.

Vinegar Syndrome. Mid 1960s 1/4” Kodak 34a with Durol backing (replacement for acetate).
This cupping/twisting is caused by the different base chemicals deteriorating at different rates over time, lose packing on the reel, and possibly less than ideal storage. But it’s the chemical deterioration that is the main cause.
Exercising and slowly repacking the reel under more tension helped, but not enough to get it to lay flat enough, long enough, to play.

Art /music matters because when there’s nothing to say, you can still say something.
Picasso, 1949 Dove of Peace
Sunflowers, Ukrainian National Flower
& mastered @independentmastering thanks to all these fine people who trust us with their art. Can ‘O Pop is my favorite off this.
Some neighbors ask for a cup of sugar when they’re in need. Some, two resistors and a switch.
Congratulations @grant_dermody for a well deserved spot. Glad to have been a part of it!

I was reminded of this one a couple of days ago; from 2018 I think? Fun, high energy live show with a few bonus studio tracks tacked on.

Dropped off earlier today and presented in a white/blue swirl.
This was a fun one from last summer. Rocky Hill, in a trio of Texas Blues, produced by John Lomax. Mastered and cut here.
Happy New Year!
