Sadly, the shop only had volumes 1-4 so I didn't get
volume 5. But not bad for 3 quid a pop. :-)

Six copies of Volume 5 currently available via eBay :-)

Two copies should be sufficient.
As the clicks will be in different places, you should be able to choose
the best bits of each. :-)

Quite. The one and only time I've cut clicks out of an LP was on one even
the various broadcast libraries couldn't find another of. It was for an
ITV schools' broadcast with no budget to have it specially recorded. Won
an international Emmy too - but not for the music. ;-)

Why did you not simply ask the record company for a 15ips Dolby A
tape copy from the master? These were always supplied very quickly
at no cost to broadcast. We used to send tapes to BH almost daily,
and even paid the courier:-)

This would have saved the cost of your LP transcription, declicking,
leadering etc.

It's a pity you didn't do it properly.

Pity you don't have a clue about the LP in question. Or indeed the
timescale involved.

I make digital transcriptions for various reasons.

1) To remove clicks from old LPs.

2) To avoid the need to have to play the same LP again, risking added wear
to my ancient Shure styli, etc.

3) Convenience of being able to play the results in rooms where I don't
have the record deck.

Some of the second-hand LPs I bought are worn and so still sound lousy. But
others - after a careful declicking - sound very good. And I find it easier
to relax and enjoy the music when I'm not anticipating rifle shot
accompaniment.

Yes - all very valid. I did look up the date of the prog I was talking
about - 1986. So rather before digital audio workstations became common.
Although the company I worked for had bought its first AudioFile by then.
But that was fully occupied dubbing 'The Bill' ;-)

Cleaning the LP thoroughly in advance and
using a "wet transfer" greatly reduces the
number of clicks and ticks, and greatly reduces
the surface noise.

What is recommended these days for the wet transfer, just distilled water?

Lots of concoctions seem to be in use.
Distilled water is probably the safest and
works quite well.

A pal of mine, ex BBC Transcription Service,
had his own recipe. He referred to the
commercially available alternatives as
"audio solvents":-)
