Time Life Big Bands

These are from my personal vinyl LP collection. The Artwork is fantastic and makes this collection look really good. I know there may be other LPs that go to this collection and if anybody out there has then, i would appreciate it if you record them and scan the artwork and upload it....i would be eternally grateful. Heres a tip for those new at the craft of restoring LP artwork LP covers do not fit a scanner very well because they are too big...The way i deal with this is that i scan half of it (with Photoshop) then turn it around and scan the other half...then drag them onto one document and match up the bottom and top half...then when they are aligned real good, i select one of the layers and click the eraser tool and set it at about 65 or 100....then drag the eraser across so that it blends into the botton layer...then i click the merge layers function...and then do an auto contrast and / or auto color...if that dont look gooed, do an edit/undo and adjust the color and contrast manually....and there you go. If you see the artwork in this wonderful collection, you will see i did a good job. Enjoy and please comment.

I got into swing music growing up in my early teens in Atlantic City (late 1970s, early 1980s) and worked on a big band radio show on the Steel Pier there, where many of these bands still played during the summer. I'm very lucky to have met so many of the artists in this collection: Basie, Kenton, Herman (a very nice guy), Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell (they were wonderful--and funny), Harry James and I found Charlie Barnet's phone number in the San Diego phone directory and we spoke to him too. The sound quality is really excellent and thank you for going to so much trouble to share this. I used to have this same LP set--lost all my hard sought after records in a fire alas, so it's wonderful to hear these again. Much appreciated!
