Who? Retired sound engineer who loves music from the 60's & early 70's.
What? My aim is to make rare stuff publicly available again with the best possible sound quality.
Prof. Stoned has ordered his playlist by sound quality (best to worst) for each session.
For those interested in a chronological playlist:
01) 'the new fave rave trio' 02) Sweet Wine 03) 'Eric Clapton interview' 04) Wrapping Paper 08) Rollin' And Tumblin' (incomplete) 10) Rollin' And Tumblin' (complete but poor sound) 07) Sleepy Time Time 05) 'We're into our finale' 06) Steppin' Out 09) I'm So Glad
01) Crossroads 02) Steppin' Out
01) I Feel Free
01) 'Tops with British blues fans' 02) Cat's Squirrel 03) 'More music the TOTP way' 04) Traintime 07) I'm So Glad 05) 'Last one comin' up' 06) Hey Lawdy Mama
01) 'Eric Clapton interview' 02) I Feel Free 04) N.S.U. 03) Four Until Late 06) Traintime 05) Toad
Wow! Thanks also from my end to you Proffo for all your labour of love! Great work, MUCH appreciated! Gotta compare with my hitherto compiling efforts. :-) Cream ahoy! Th:-)mas
Dear Professor, I'm floored again. As usual the sound is fantastic. I really like the flow with the sound quality order. I shall come back many times to this compilation. Thank your very very much. Kees
Prof. - STELLAR work here, as always! Best I've ever heard this material, and yet there is some material I've never heard as well! Your remastering is a wonderful alternative to the overly-noise reduction travesty that could have been/should have been mastered with more care. Thank you so very much, sir!
Pink Floyd wouldn't be worth doing (yet) because there are perfect pre-fm's of the Syd sessions in private hands that haven't yet surfaced. So it would just be more of the same.
Listening now. Another A+++ effort, Prof Stoned. Thank you very much for this great sounding collection, as well as an important historical document of the band, the Cream. ;-)
Thanks for that, Proffo. Seems the Beeb really issued this number and same version *twice* on two different Transcription Discs, #170 and #213. (both in 1968) - once with and once without the voiceover. Hence the stunning audio quality. GOOD! :-)
Thanks Prof. for coming back to this project. I think that it's great when you come back to improve your own work ... shows your constant strive to do the best for what all of us think is pretty amazing to begin with .
Wow, Prof. thanks for the upgrade. SWABLR without DJ voiceover is a highlight now! That and, of course, the "I'm so Glad" with the 1812 overture in the guitar solo. Great work, thanks again for the share.
Hey, Proffo! Thanks a kazillion AGAIN for your expert efforts. Looking forward to hear how this compares with my/our previous Complete Cream Collection. Thanks also for mentioning me in your acknowledgements. ;-) Cheers! Th:-)mas (AKA DocDondy)
A folder containing covers I've made for the two discs of this amazing set along with some other Prof masterpieces! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11ndGNQXKiaI8IXcyeEviALVO0BdilIyN?usp=share_link
Professor, another great remaster. As always I appreciate your hard work and willing to share. And yes, I agree with your assessment of EC's career over the past 30+ years. The only exception for me is when he's playing the blues. Pure magic. :)
They don't seem to be there now, but it seems some other Cream BBC recordings not included in this set have recently been uploaded to YouTube; see the 4th paragraph of this post:
v1.6: 11-01-2024 (session 1967-06-15 newly discovered and kindly provided by The Johnny Kidd Fan Club; also session #1, Tr. 9, session #5, Tr. 5-6, session #6, Tr. 1 & session #9, Tr. 1-2 replaced with superior newly discovered sources)
hey, boys 'n girls! this is how the internet used to work - no patreon, no pay pal, no like my video and don't forget to hit that Subscribe button! My hat's off to the good professor! ¡Muchísimas gracias! (still used lots of exclamation points, however) )

Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Prof. It took some time to extract all the folders and convert to mp3 but worth it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you mate! Great to see you back. I will challenge you to do a comprehensive Pink Floyd BBC sessions, That would be a huge task.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. Big improvement over the version I had. Great work.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you VERY much.
Pink Floyd wouldn't be worth doing (yet) because there are perfect pre-fm's of the Syd sessions in private hands that haven't yet surfaced. So it would just be more of the same.
ReplyDeleteLate to the party but many thanks.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great collection - this one desperately needed doing.
ReplyDeleteThank You very much!
ReplyDeleteListening now. Another A+++ effort, Prof Stoned. Thank you very much for this great sounding collection, as well as an important historical document of the band, the Cream. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. Sound is great, really natural.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
ReplyDeleteTack så mycket! This one is so much easier on the ears compared to the offical brickwalled 2003 CD.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Thank you.

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!
ReplyDeletev1.2: 27-12-2022 (session #12, Tr 3 replaced with a better source that has no voiceover on intro and outro; 'Completist Stuff' folder added)

ReplyDeleteInsanely great, but the "new" version of "Ulysses" from 10-24-67 is running a half-step below pitch.
ReplyDeleteArrrgh, that'll teach me to 'multitask'. How on earth did I miss that.
Deletev1.4: 06-07-2023 (session #10, Tr 6 speed corrected and newly mastered because of pitch difference)
