Not everyone's cup of tea, by any stretch of the imagination, but my music tastes tend to lean towards the so-called "Easy Listening" genre (although I do consider myself to have rather eclectic tastes in music).
Being as I am from the Vinyl Age, I do have a large collection of these 12" discs from the 1960's and 1970's - the pre-CD era in the progression of mankind.
I have (and continue to do so as time allows) made digital recordings (MP4's) of many tracks from various LP's and uploaded these to my channel on You Tube, where you will find arrangements from such notables as Dudley Moore and his trio, Andre Previn, Joe Harnell, Percy Faith and others, some well known, some obscure (such as Jonathan & Darlene Edwards).
If this is your thing, then you are welcome to meander into this You Tube address.
==========================================
For those who may be interested in the "how does he do it?" technical stuff associated with the recording:-
The vinyl is played on a conventional turntable (1970s to 1980s versions)...I have a couple.
The analogue signal is then input via a NAD PP3 USB Preamp to my PC and the incoming sound is recorded as a digital WAV file using VinylStudio.
That digital file is then converted to an MP3 file using either GoldWave or Audacity editing suites.
Finally, to create a file format acceptable for You Tube, an MP4 audio/video file is created with VideoPad video editor or Microsoft's "Movie maker" before uploading to You Tube.
