Earlier this year, I was given the opportunity to take a shot a digitizing and restoring a Post WWII archival recording of piano virtuoso and Polish holocaust survivor Maryla Jonas. Her family wanted to preserve and share her music once again.
Sounds easy enough..
Not in the slightest. These recordings were made in the "direct-to-disc" era, which meant that A.) there is no master tape and B.) The master I worked from is an actual record that was printed in the 40's.
That is another way of saying there were scratches, pops, clicks, and noise galore that no amount of record cleaning (yes I actually bought a special cleaning solution with special brushes/towels and manually attempted to scrub off 70 years worth of dust) could fix.
As you can hear for yourself in the posted Before/After, the surgery was a success. I can do this for your old records that are probably in better shape than this was.
Pricing will vary on commission, but again, this is Sturbridge Sound. I'm gonna give you a lot more than anyone else at this price point.
