Among the earliest things in my collection there are many recordings of radio broadcasts between 1957 and 1965.
These were done on old open reels that years later I transfered to 36 "modern" cassette tapes.
I'm now about finished ripping those cassette tapes to CDs.
I had no intention of posting any of that stuff since it's easy to understand that the resulting product is not of the highest quality, just taking into account the age and condition of the original tapes and recorder, and my often primitive recording technique!
When I told a friend of the ripping process and of the contents of a particular tape he was curious about it and asked if I would post anything.
My first reaction was negative because I don't think it's right to dump anything and everything in this group. But then I thought I would try asking for reactions to the idea.
I would like to know if there is any interest in some of those (very) old recordings: some were local productions and some were transcriptions from the BBC or other European broadcasters.
As I point out the condition is certainly not A1 but sometimes it is relatively not too bad :-)
I'm posting a short illustration.
I thought the selection had an historical side that some might find interesting.
The commentaries during that recital were made by the choir director, Msgr Maillet. In the presentation of that Ave Maria, he said that the work was a special composition for the PCCB by Louis Aubert (1877-1968).
