Hmmm that is an idea. But I am a pretty anonymous sort of guy. I promise to take a video at least.
Can I get arrested for putting something like that on YouTube? |

Well when I heard the intro to Chapel Hill on the podcast I was like, why is this not on the record...

Oh Sprite, I’m sorry to have put you in that position. I was half kidding.
Hold on to your anonymity my friend. The demos will surface elsewhere soon enough |

| Ha no worries. I'll definitely digitize the tracks and get some advice where to put them if people are having trouble accessing them. |

If there’s anyone of influence reading this, it would be nice to get a lossless download code for the bonus LPs.
I’ll do my own needle drop, and I have some other albums I need to do that for, but it would be nice. |

I couldn't agree more, hammerhands. We hear some really good quality demos at the end the 12th and final podcast. I hope such quality can be obtained in digital format.
On a related note, I'll need to get a turntable to convert these into digital format as well. Any recommendations?

Very good
I say that based on podcast episode 12 not on hearing RFL yet. |

also, these waveforms are the FLAC files. they sound significantly brighter than the MP3 files. and the channels are reversed. |

I was just listening to IC then HC, Head Carrier is so compressed, so dull, just like those pics of Oona, etc.

I had forgotten the word eyrie shows up at the start of Oona.
Who is Oona? A sound she makes? Oona O’Neill and/or Gala Dali? |

There’s an old electronics repair store in this city run by some vintage guys that fix vintage stereo equipment. I bought an old Duel turntable from them.
I suspect you can find a place like that near you.
There are also a few hifi shop that take trades that have lots of nice used equipment. Those audiophiles have a sickness and are always upgrading to something newer or older.
I only have a 16bit/44.1khz recorder [Boss BR-600] and I may want to upgrade if I’m going to finally convert some of these albums. The nice thing is the Boss runs on batteries and I don’t have to have a computer on so I can get rid of a lot of noise. Maybe I will get an audio interface I can use with iOS, or a portable recorder. I would like recommendations on that.
My sister bought me a turntable that plugs into a computer with USB, has software to split the tracks. I will have to look at that. Very convenient, but I don’t know if I trust it. Only 44.1khz or 48khz, I think.
