DOWNLOAD

2026 vinyl restoration of John Larkin's self titled album, done by YellowMoon.

Equipment:

Techincs SL-5200 Turntable

Cambridge Audio 651p Preamp

AT-VM95SH Stylus

Schiit JIL Analog-->Digital Converter

Restoration:

Pen Tool (On a few loud clicks in Audacity, prior to exporting for iZotope)

iZotope RX 5

Each song was run through iZotope with the "clicks only" option. Afterwards, I compared the clicks only version of each song to the

unedited version, to see which were actual pops/clicks and which were part of the song. So each click has been removed by hand.

Decrackle was used on John Coltrane, and in the quiet parts and outros of the other songs.

Rick Astley - Free Press Kit (1991)

Got this in a while ago, but could not figure out how to scan the folder. Was able to scan it in sections and use Image Composite Editor to stitch it all together, cleaning up the result in Photoshop afterwards. This has to be my favorite press kit that I've stumbled upon, including its own specialized gold folder, the front having the album cover, and the folder flaps being printed as well. Enjoy!
