June is National Accordion Awareness Month!

Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night.

The Rolling Stones and the Most Important Music Studio on Wheels

Did you know that The Rolling Stones owned the world's first independent recording studio on wheels? The Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, built into the back of a truck, not only produced some of the band's biggest albums but was also used to record some of the most iconic albums of the 1970s by other legendary bands such as Fleetwood Mac, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath.

Wire Reel Transfer

Recently we transferred 12 wire reel recordings on our modified deck. The output from the head is fed directly into a mic pre, bypassing the 70-year-old internal electronics. The client wrote back to say

"Just wanted to send a note of thanks for your ‘Job well done’!
Our family has been enjoying listening to the files you have recovered for the family from old wire recordings and the improved quality of listening.

As one grandson said, “WOW, that’s the oldest thing I ever heard!” My generation is surprised at how some of us sound just like our elders at our age 😉. You have provided us with cherished memories, and your services are greatly appreciated. THANKS!

Janice George"

Thank you, Janice George, for allowing us to bring back these memories from 70 years ago.

Most people know about the issues with sticky shed syndrome. But many need to learn that tapes that were stored improperly get mold growing on them due to humidity. This is what it looks like on the tension arm roller. Usually, you can see it on the edges of the tape, but sometimes you can't. If you would like to find out more, you can contact us at

Circa 1955 – An office-in-the-car is easy to contrive with a tape recorder mounted on the front seat. To keep the recorder level, strap it to a plywood base having sides curved to the contour of the s**t. It's a business-trip convenience to permit report dictation while held up in traffic.

This 715-song playlist is scientifically verified to give you the chills, thanks to "frisson"

“Aesthetic chills correspond to the satisfaction of humans’ internal drive to acquire knowledge about the external world and perceive objects and situations as meaningful. In humans, this need to explore and understand environmental conditions is a biological prerequisite for survival.”

Listening to some songs can cause a powerful physiological response known as "frisson." What is it, and why does it happen?

Bedbugs

Lowell George, he of Little Feat fame, made a cameo appearance on the sixties TV sitcom F Troop. In 1967 George portrayed a long-haired member of an anachronistic teen combo called The Bedbugs, the joke (one F Troop used more than once) being that you have a rock group right after the Civil War. Har!

Along with George, the other members of the Bedbugs were played by guitarists Warren S. Klein (who was in the Stooges circa 1973) and Martin F. Kibbee; and future Little Feat drummer Richie Hayward. At the time, the four of them were collectively known as The Factory. Frank Zappa would produce two songs for the group, which remained unreleased until 1993’s Lightning-Rod Man anthology.

After the Factory disbanded, Lowell would briefly join The Standells before becoming (again briefly) a member of Zappa’s Mothers of Invention, appearing on the Weasels Ripped My Flesh album on rhythm guitar. The teetotal Zappa either fired him, or George left voluntarily over Lowell’s penchant for partying and pot.

How a Phoenix record store owner set the audiophile world on fire

The chickens have come home to roost for the analog revival.

"The anti-digital crowd has been lying to itself: “These people who claim they have golden ears and can hear the difference between analog and digital, well, it turns out you couldn’t.”

MoFi Records claimed its expensive reissues were purely analog reproductions. It had been deceiving its customer base for years.

The Elcaset was a short-lived 1/4" cassette format beginning in 1976 and ending in 1980. I always thought it would have been a better format than the compact cassette used in porta studios like the Tascam 424 etc.

Thanks guys
We just received our BWAV files from Stewart Adams "Creative Audio Works" today after dropping off several Ampex 10 1/2" x 1/2" reels of analog tape we had archived since 1994 three days ago. Stewart baked and restored the tape, then Digitally transferred the audio to 24 Bit 48Khz Wave files.

Stewarts meticulous attention to detail did not go unnoticed.The 8 multitracks per reel sound spectacular and with todays technology we now have the capability to manipulate the tracks painlessly to achieve a modern competitive product that we can be proud of.

For any of you that may have any audio restoration needs,"Creative Audio Works" is the place to go.

Walking into Stewarts Studio is like walking into an analog museum. Don't sit on your art! Get it heard while you still can.
