Introduction Welcome to Digital Gold! Here you will find hundreds of downloadable record albums. We specialize in exotica, moog, soundtracks, pop instrumentals and oddities from the fifties and sixties. In addition to our popular MP3 Collections, we have added a new feature, the Album of the Week. We've received nothing but high praise for the quality of our transfers. We only use original VG+ to near mint vinyl records which are scrubbed with a Nitty Gritty record cleaning machine just prior to recording through a studio quality Echo Digital Audio soundcard. We do not use any noise reduction software but do manually remove any large clicks and pops. Getting Started First time users will need to register. Just sign up and make your selections.

TV Jazz Themes The Video All Stars (Skip Martin) Somerset P-8800 Mono Skip Martin studied clarinet and played with local orchestras through high school and while attending Indiana University. Around 1936, he began playing alto and baritone sax for a series of big bands, including Charlie Barnett, Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. Count Basie recorded a number of Martin's compositions in the 1940s, including a minor hit, "Tuesday at Ten." In the late 1950s, he produced several albums for Somerset that rank among the best of the percussion craze. The list of players includes some of the best West Coast jazz players of the time: Jimmy Rowles, Pete Candoli, Frank Rosolino, Larry Bunker, Irv Cottler, and Don Fagerquist. Martin also arranged a selection of theme and incidental music for the 1958-59 TV series, Mike Hammer, that RCA released to ride on the coattails of the success of Peter Gunn. (...more) |
