Hi Everyone

 

Had some requests that I don't have, and wondering if anyone has them by any chance.

They are

 

Donald O'Connor and Ethel Merman - You're Just In Love

 

Neil Sedaka - Solitaire

 

Nat King Cole - Affair To Remember

 

Josh Groban - Pure Imagination

[DaedalusWren]

Need a song. Had a request for (Bob Seger - Feels Like A Number). Unfortunately the only one I have is actually a mislabeled (Foreigner - Feel like the First Time).

 

Would appreciate a share.

 

Thanks.

Track was Ameritz (AMZ39129)

Hi folks.

I stumbled on this on YouTube.

It is a generated version of The Beatles song "Now And Then" in their true sixties style and is fantastic!!

May I ask please if this can kindly be produced as a karaoke track ( I for one would be singing it!)

So many thanks in advance.

Best regards to all.

Nat King Cole - Affair To Remember

I did have a go, but getting decent quality masters to work from is almost impossible.. There is a KV version of Affair to Remember listed as 1950's Standards, but when I listened to the sample, it was not as 'sweet' an arrangement as the Cole version. I didn't download it, even though I do a Nat tribute act!

 

I also found a more 'jazz' oriented arrangement on YT of You're Not In Love, with scrolling lyrics but it has side by side lyrics, and it doesn't wipe. ALso I think getting a producer to make a commercial version of it would be unlikely as it is an Irving Berlin song, and the IB Estate are very iffy about granting new licences for any of his works.

Same here , had a try at You're just in love , but results were really poor as source audio is (pardon my french) Crap!!

If anyone finds a respectable audio source i would like to try again.

Yes, at times it is hard to get a usable backing track. I wish I knew why some older recordings simply won't clean up! I have quite a few 50's 60's R&R songs that I would like to do ,but the vocal removal sounds awful

I have tried using both a vinyl rip of the OST and a lift from the DVD, both in FLAC format. I get the impression that the OST was taken from the movie MAG track, rather than the optical track. Also it was not common in the early 50's to re-record the OST's in a studio, (except in the case of films like White Christmas where one of the stars was contracted to a different recording company (Rosemary Clooney).

It is mainly down to the way recordings were made in the days of two or four track tape. Quite often tracks were 'bounced' down to a single track to make way for other tracks to be recorded, and even with good quality tape and heads part of the signal was either lost or compressed.

If you consider the problems that they had just getting John Lennon's vocal cleanly lifted from the piano backing from a cassette recording from the 70's, then you can imagine the problems faced with 1950's tracks (geared for the 78rpm shellac market) that were distinctly lo-fi until the advent of vinyl made the need for better quality mastering!
