Hey all, finally finished ripping most of the Patchwork I own. I have maybe 4 more that I still have to have cleaned so I haven't ripped those yet (they're higher numbers in the series).
I debated whether I should just make them one file for the whole record, or break them up track by track, and in the end, my OCD won out and I separated them out track by track. This is partially because some of these records have a few tracks I'd want to skip if I were listening in the car or on headphones on a walk or something.
I didn't get too crazy trying to remove pops or crackle or whatever on most of these. There were a few where I did go in and do some gentle crackle removal with software, because even after cleaning, some were a little noisy. I'm sure you'll still hear the occasional vinyl crackle or whatever.
There are the ones I have ready now:
2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 19, 20, 21, 29, 34, 35.
There's great stuff on all of them. There are a few (like 4 I think?) that have some goofy stuff real early on but still have quite a few gems on them. Others, like 10 (Children/Games) I would think were going to be lame but they ended up having quite a few great songs on them (I usually avoid "Children" library records like the plague, but this one is pretty good), so basically what I'm saying is, I can heartily recommend all of these. Only a few have tracks I'd skip.
DM me for download links. I have each album in a zipped folder of its own.
