F.A.Q.
Who?
I have a turntable and a nice record collection, mostly LP's from the 60's & early 70's.
What?
My aim is to make rare stuff (in glorious mono or sometimes stereo) publicly available again with the best possible sound quality.
Requests?
Generally, no. I select my projects very critically. Vinyl condition is everything. I tend not to work with records that are in less than pristine condition.
Donations?

Thanks a lot for the first LP of the Good Captain and well, for everything else!

Thanks for posting. Best sounding version of this music I've ever come across! Best, James
Professor I've never heard this record with such clarity before. I love the sound of this rip & pressing. This is the only way to listen to this recording. Thank you.

Big time upgrade from the Sundazed version. Once again many thanks Prof!!! So grateful for what you do.
Outstanding as always! I enjoy everything the good Prof. puts out, my go-to versions for sure.
Thank you very much!
Superb job THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Regards
Ondra
Thank you very much, the sound beats the other rip that had been making the rounds. You're number 1!
Oh and by the way, what Sundazed did really put a halt on my purchases from that company until I have verification of the source material.
I have been looking for this for a very long time. Thank you so much, Prof.
Can't thank enough, this is historically important stuff ! Yours Causinger
Thank you very much for sharing, and for the dedication you put in digitizing original materials in high quality, rally many thanks prof
Right on I just got some hash in the mail and now this from You, Somebody's gonna meet the monster tonight.
Wonderful Prof. Many thanks.
Fun! Thank you.
Thank you.
Great, Thanks.
Thank you for righting another (rather serious) wrong by Sundazed!
Thanks Prof!
dude. thank you.
really looking forward to hearing this one. thanks!
Thanks Prof!!!
As always Professor, thanks for your time, effort, and dedication.
Thank you Prof!!!
Many thanks for taking the time and expense to do this.
Brilliant stuff, many thanks, Prof.
Bedankt, Bob Irwin moet zich schamen!
Thanks so much, this was always number one on my wish list and boy is it primo.
Fantastic work on this album! Thanks!
BTW, thanks also to JWB for pointing out this great Blog to me!
Just one general question:
Do you keep the space between the tacks of an album, or do you cut/remaster each tack separate?
Thanks Prof!!!
Fabulous rip! Thanks very much for your efforts!
Can't wait to listen to this. Appreciate generosity and hard work. You got quite the set of equipment.
Thanks for this gem Prof. Now that I've heard the true reference tone, the yellow brick road will never be the same again...
sweetness & light...
words fail, except THANK YOU PROF STONED
:D
Thank you!
Thanks for this. It's always a treat visiting your blog.
A favorite! Thanks for the hard work in making this album sparkle.
Appreciate your efforts, thank you!
Thank you! I'm looking forward to the jolt of raw energy I always feel when 'Sure Nuff...' kicks in!
best i've ever heard the mono mix. BRAVO prof!!!!!
me again... holy moly this sounds really really really good. extra-triple-super-thanks!!
thanks, prof. sounds raw and great in mono. fantastic job!
Many thanks for the most recent flurry Prof. Four big faves in a row!
Stupid query dept. Thanks as always for your amazing work-you put the major labels to shame! But now that I'm using a Mac,I'm having trouble downloading here. Any advice? Best to you!
@Prof. Thank-you!
@Dale. Try a different browser(?) Many things no longer work on my Snow Leopard browsers
This version blows away the Sundazed reissue. It kinda makes me sad for everyone, including myself, that paid good money for that Sundazed patchjob. Thank you for this great release.
Thanks for another wonderful drop, Prof! You may be hungry, but you sure ain't weird!!!
Yeah ! Great to finally get the true mono mix !
Plus the filecloud download link was FAST!!, a minute only :-)
Thank you Prof !!!
Call me a Neanderthal, but this was always my fav from the Captain. I saw him in a tiny auditorium around the time of this release - didn't undertand it at all at the time. Live and learn. Thanks, Prof!
Thanks so much, your work is greatly appreciated.
Outstanding history lesson, and good insight on the Sundazed piece too, great to hear this gem. Thanks!
Thanks !!!
Thanks Prof!
thank you for all your efforts!
Just love this site!!
Thank you so much for all the time, money, hard work & most of all, for sharing the fruits of your labours with us.
I particularly appreciate the 24/96 lossless files - squeezing this stuff down to anything less would be a waste IMO.
James - in the UK.
Thanks, Professor!
Thank you, Prof!
Thanks Prof - this sounds superb.
brilliant - major thanks
Outstanding...I love it! Thank you!!
Thank you, Sir.
Thanks for all your work, i really appreciate it. For some reason this file doesn't download correctly for me. it gets to 99% and then fails, always
Thank you so much for this gem! It's people like you that make the world such a better place! Regards, with Beefhartian love.
I adore what you do but can't figure out how to download your links on a Mac. Any advice from out there would be appreciated!
Amazing, thank you very much for this. Good to know about the issues with the Sundazed as well.
Sounds fine, and it's nice to have the actual mono mix available. Thanks Prof!
Thank you for this - it was a wonderful way to revisit (and in a way understand for the first time) this psych classic. Listening also to Unconditionally Guaranteed and I can see that the Cap also wrote sweet love songs early in his career. Thank you!
have a stereo copy since i was teen, never came across a mono copy...til NOW...many sincere thanks for your efforts here. MONO "Something Else" by the Kinks next ??? one of my holiest relics is a MONO copy of "kinks greatest hits" that I unsealed myself a few years ago....did I say thanks already?
I find I'm unable to download your material on a Mac. Regrettable,as your site is fantastic. Anyone with advice for using a Mac here would be most welcome. long may you run!
¡Muchas gracias, profe!
I have this in stereo but, I decided to hear what the Captain sounded like in mono. Thank you for your hard work. I used to have an Acoustic Research turntable. It needed some work and I was encouraged to just get rid of it. Later, I regretted it. Nothing like a good turntable. Thanks again.
Sounds great as always
I have original copies of the US stereo and UK mono and I must say this one is a real blast! Thanks for the HQ rip from a pristine source and for your dedication in sharing!!!
Thank you, prof.
For some reason,I can't download anything from this site with a Mac. Unfortunate,since I love your work.
Keep on with the fantastic work!
You are gonna have to be more specific than that about what the problem is, Dale.
Thanks! Free indeed
Amazing site! Unless you're using a Mac.
Dale, shoot me a pm.
Thank you, sir!
Hi, when I click the link, it takes me to a text uploader?
Thank you for this! I am so excited to hear the original version at last. Own the 1999 Buddha CD and a 1980´s UK fold down vinyl.
Thank you!
Excellent crisp sound, best I've heard this.
Thanks so much!
Many thanks kind sir.
Many Thanks for this!
Thanks muchly!
Sweeeeet. :)
This is fantastic. THANK YOU!
Nice
much appreciated--thank you!
thank you.
I have a nice vinyl copy that I got second hand when I was about 16 and listened to constantly.
The sound you got on this is absolutely stunning!
Thank you so much! Dank U!
Marc
Awesome! Many thanks! Agg, Regards from Athens, Greece
Ta!
thank you for this Safe As Milk authentic mono, regards...
I've yet to find a rip of Strictly Personal that sounds fantastic. Apparently there's a mono version that those who've heard it rate highly. I'm not the only one who'd appreciate the Prof giving us what the music industry has failed to! How about it?
