Hey: how are you these days? I would like to introduce to you a very good website.             http://www.ropshop.com/ It can offer...
Just wanted everyone to know that last message was NOT sent by me!! My email address has apparently been hijacked. Because I just received over 50 of those...
It has happened to zillions of people in the past week, Bryan. An awful lot of people got hijacked the same way, and are presently engaged in resolving the...
My dad has had a dozen or so of those "mailer_daemon_undeliverable" messages in his inbox too. He didn't think anything of it until I mentioned it to him....
Last week I received the new Mexican compilation titled LO ESENCIAL DE RAY CONNIFF (Sony Music Mexico 886975234721). I've uploaded the 5 cover images to the...

Hi All, I was looking at Manfred's posting of Ray Conniff in Moscow and was wondering what brought this visit about. Did he bring his own singers or were they...
Hey, Roy - There's probably a lot more that Manfred and others can add, but in brief: Ray was the first American recording artist to record in Soviet Union...
When I saw the recent reissue of 'S AWFUL NICE (Hallmark 704182) for just $2.99, I couldn't resist buying a copy. There is nothing desirable about this...
Does anyone use vinyl anymore, even just to collect? I originally joined this list because I had my dad's collection and didn't know what to do with it....
They sure do! Cassette tapes are pretty much dead. Magnetic tape will degrade over time regardless, but vinyl LP's should last indefinitely if cared for. I...
Magnetic tape does not degrade at all. I still have tapes recorded in the early 50's that sound fresh and dynamic. Cassettes however were always inferior, like...
This is not meant to be sarcastic, but do you know of another format (other than MP3) that not only will compress audio to about the same size as an MP3 file...
Ray's backing for Doris day the song "The teacher's pet"?.I got the cd Doris Day's Greatest hits,and the backing there is very, very similar to the Ray...
Hi, Jerry. After time, all magnetic tape (both audio and video) does indeed degrade to the point of failure. Three of the important factors in 'extending the...
Mini Disc is not obsolete, but it is just as inferior as cassette or MP3, so you will have to loss making MP3's at high bit rate from them. Better you use FLAC...
I think FLAC is the route I will be taking. I have over 100 minidisc and there's over 2 1/2 hours worth of music on each disc (between 60-75 songs). There's...
- And yes, they DO still make turntables. I have a new Numark. ... Thanks Brian :)and others.I still have my Technics DD turntable, Pioneer SX1010 (1000 watt...
Sue, I still have about 115 of Ray Conniff's LPs, plus about 1,900 from other artists. Believe it or not, I still play some of them, because they just have...
Agree with Dr. Glenn.I don't have so many, almost 200 Lps.,but in any circunstances I wouldn't sell my Lps, not only for sentimental reasons,but, there are...
I guess I could be called a "Conniff freak" because I have in fact, four Conniff collections: 1- All the original albums (with the exception of "Ray Conniff...
Over here you still can get blank MD’s. But since they are rewritable I will not buy any new ones anymore. Have about 20 sealed ones still laying around as...
The old tapes do not have a polyester base, but acetate. If you store them correctly they will not degrade. Tapes over 60 years old still haven't. Video is...
A LP was used as source.talking about awful :-s ... From: ray_conniff@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ray_conniff@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Doug Mitchell Sent:...
They were recorded in LP-2 mode. So the audio has already been compressed once. Not that it's even noticable. But if it's compressed again....well, you know...
