Restoration and Mastering
|
In 2001, we launched the Blue Room with a major project for Abkco Records - the transfer and restoration of the 22 album Rolling Stones Remastered series. This led to restoration and mixing projects for iconic artists Sam Cooke and The Animals. In 2005, we traveled to the Library of Congress to transfer Alan Lomax's historic recordings for the Grammy Award-winning box set The Complete Library of Congress Recordings: Jelly Roll Morton. In 2007, we brought to life a rare audio wire recording of Woody Guthrie: The Live Wire: Performance 1949, which won a Grammy Award for best historical album. Next, we transfered and mastered another historic concert, Tim Buckley's Live at the Folklore Center, 1967. Last year, we transfered, restored and mastered the 10 CD Alan Lomax in Haiti box set, and we started work on the Fugazi/Dischord Records archive. Projects from this year include the Newport Jazz & Folk Festival archive, The Rolling Stones' Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out 40th Anniversary box
set and more.
