Screen Director's Playhouse Digitally Restored Collection


(4.3 stars; 3 reviews)

Each of these shows is NON COPYRIGHTED and is currently in the PUBLIC DOMAIN. This Digitally Restored Collection represents hundreds of hours of labor in Digitally Restoring/Enhancing each of the 119 shows included in this collection!!!! 128Kbps CD Quality audio for ALL SHOWS!!! Compare them with any other available versions and you will see there is no comparison. If you find these lectures beneficial and appreciate the work I have put into it, please feel free to send a donation in any amount via Paypal using the link below: https://paypal.me/NicholasHansGary This is the BEST Quality set of Screen Director's Playhouse shows currently available ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!!  I have spent many years tracking down these shows from MANY difference sources (Official Cassette, LP Vinyl, Digital etc) and enhancing shows that are of lower audio quality so as to try to remove muffling, overblown sharp highs, enhance vocals, tighten bass, clean audio, remove hiss, pops, fix speed/pitch etc. On every episode I also normalized the audio levels of speech throughout the episode and loud music/effects portions to be very close to that of the actual performance instead of 4-5 times the volume. Quality will vary somewhat from episode to episode given the rarity of many of these shows. I have been working on restoring these episodes since 2016. Please be aware that not all episodes are of perfect flawless quality, as source materials which would allow such restoration are extremely rare. However, about 3/5ths of the set or more are flawless or near perfect quality, about 2/5th are of very good quality and the rest are of good listenable quality. I have done my very best to find ALL available good quality source material but it has been very difficult and arduous, as it seems that I am the only one worldwide undertaking such an endeavor. ALL mp3 files are properly tagged and titled. MP3 metadata is also complete with artist, genre, album, album art etc so they will ALL properly show on ANY mp3 player or ipod.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

Reviews

Great!, but...


(4 stars)

If I could make one suggestion, it would be to offer your uploads as Opus downloads in addition/in replacement of MP3. Opus is a far newer audio format, and offers the same quality of high-res MP3 if not better in a much smaller filesize. I hope you will update your archives with this in mind, as well as for future uploads.

Thanks for all your hard work!
