We hope to compile a catalogue with players, instruments, tunes, dates, a description of quality and anything else that may be relevant. The catalogue will be updated from your entries. Please provide your observations in a form that helps us to create and update the catalogue.
You will find the player at the bottom of the page. It may be minimised or you might have to scroll down. Volume is initially set to 50%. You can vary the playback speed.

| This is a trimmed speed doubled copy of the first 17+ minutes of NPS-JFC-C-002-02. Times refer to this trimmed copy. To find the original timing double times and add about 1 minute. The speed correction was judged by ear, and on the fact that common tape speed settings change by factors of two. No frequency response equalisation/correction was made. | GM | ||||
