That Audacity problem is fixed, more or less. So “Hair” is done, at least for now. (There’s stuff I may tinker with later, but I don’t need the tape for that.)<\/p>\n
Next up, a tape labeled Reel C that says Side 1 is Walter Carlos and Side 2 is Judy Collins. That’s more or less accurate.<\/p>\n
I already have “Switched-On Bach” and “The Well-Tempered Synthesizer,” which make up most of Side 1. Those are probably from the same LPs I taped in the first place, and either way, they’re unneeded. I filled out the side, though, with five tracks from the soundtrack of “A Clockwork Orange,” and I didn’t annotate them at all when I recorded them. I can’t seem to match them up to any of the track lists I found for the album. Sound quality is somewhere between decent and marginal, and the album is not available for download (I understand Carlos and Kubrick had a falling-out, which may have contributed), so I’ve saved these, but have not yet filled in the metadata. It’s going to be somewhat difficult.<\/p>\n
As for Side 2, this is most of my father’s Judy Collins collection — “Golden Apples of the Sun,” “Fifth Album,” and the first few tracks from “The Judy Collins Concert.” “In My Life” isn’t included, and that’s the only one of her albums I already had, so in theory this is new material I should be saving — but the quality isn’t so great, and these are<\/i> available as downloads.<\/p>\n
I added those three albums to my Amazon wish-list and left it at that.<\/p>\n
