Home Made Records and Audio Letters (WWII- USO Records)
There are many "flavors" of 78 rpm, 45 rpm and 33 1/3 rpm records. For the
purpose of our service we will differentiate between Commercial Releases and
what we call "Home Made Records".
We
call a "Home Made Record" a record that was made by a home
recorder, by an "automat" type machine, or was professionally produced as a
one-of-a-kind record by a studio. They are usually (but not always) made of a
thin material, coated by a thin film (lacquer). Some of these records are made
out of paper, plastic or metal. These records were most common in the 1940's
and 1950's.
The easiest way to tell the
difference between a Commercially Produced 78rpm and what we call a "Home Made
Record" is the label. Is the label factory-printed with the name of the artist
and the name of the song/album? It is most likely a Commercially Produced
record. Is the label just the "Brand name" of the blank record manufacturer?
It is a "Home Made Record". Is the label hand written or typed on a
typewriter? It is a "Home Made Record".
There are one-of-a-kind records, produced in a studio, as a demo, or
as a one-off record. For the purpose of our service we consider those also
"Home Made Records". Some customers tell us "but the record was not made in a
home, it was made in a studio". True. The name we use for this class of
recordings: "Home Made Records" is only a convenience, to designate this class
of very noisy records. It really does not matter if a record of this type was
produced in a home, in a department store, at the USO or in a professional
studio. What matters to us is the sound quality (which, for this class of
recordings is poor) and the technical processes we must utilize in Sound
Restoration. The technology we use for Home Made Record transfers is reflected
in the pricing structure for this class of recordings. We are unable to process
records of this class at the Commercial 78rpm prices. Even if we would try, the
result would be poor.
