Cartoon Songs, 1970s LP Rip

Leonov is a great talent, brilliantly sang Winnie-the-Pooh. The children’s choir is made up of two tracks — the first and second verses are recorded worse than the third, in the third verse the children are very expressive. Chunga-Changa is good without question, Aida is beautiful.

4′ vinyl record – shake, LP Rip


Single-sided plate with a diameter of only 10 cm with the inscription “Long-playing 33 rpm Shake”, it looks like the 1960s. It would seem that what to expect from her, but she has a dense bass, a perky electric organ — a great example of vintage Lo-Fi! I wonder who made them and how..

Caucasian Prisoner (Kavkazskaya plennitsa), 1969 LP Rip

The 7' D-19738 record. And again there is an interesting effect – in the voice of Aida Vedishcheva you can hear live, human intonations, which in the common recording was not audible.

Diamond Hand (Brilyantovaia ruka), 1969 LP Rip

A flexible record of the late 1960s, the voices of the artists are recorded very expressively. Nikulin, it turns out, in each line of “A nam vse ravno” improvises and changes the pronunciation of phrases, then exaggerates, then jokes, then deliberately accentuates the fragment, this is most clearly heard when listening directly from the record and is not heard at all in the common digitization. Mironov sings much simpler, the loss of clarity on his vocals does not affect so much, but listening to him in Lo-Fi is still more interesting.

Los Panchos, 1950s LP Rip

Recordings with great clarity of sound, judging by the sound – the originals of the 1940s. Wonderful musicians, a trip to Mexico of seventy years ago.

Samotsveti, 1973 LP Rip

Energophone-II Full Range take

Remastered from flexible records, Russian pop-rock of early 1970s, classical audiophile sound of germanium transistors equipment. Record shows competent work of musicians and sound engineers — dense bass, correct compression, full-fledged voices, a bit dirty, but clear highs. Today, such level of pop music sound is completely unattainable.
The records are bent in some places so that incorrigible creases remain on the surface. When playing in these places, loud bass “plops” and floats are heard.
The expressiveness of the Energophone-II sound is most clearly visible on the female vocals of “Добрые приметы”.
