The MMMS Records Remastered

Since it seems I’m perhaps the sole provider on the Net of the audio from the two Flexidiscs that Marvel Comics produced in the 1960’s, I thought I’d offer them with superior sound compared to what I posted five years ago. Here they are, remastered for the best possible audio fidelity.

The Voices of Marvel

Voice of Marvel - Front

The Voices of Marvel - rear sleeve

Scream Along With Marvel

Scream Along With Marvel - Front

Scream Along With Marvel - Back

Technical notes:

  • Technics DD turntable, Shure MM cartridge, AGI phono pre-amp.
  • Captured from line level source, 24-bit resolution, 48 kHz sample rate.
  • A 60 Hz hum in the The Voices Of Marvel has been removed with a 120 Hz high-pass filter.
  • Click removal used sparingly. No other noise reduction or equalization.
  • A dimple in The Voices Of Marvel causes a recurring thump between 3:15 and 3:35. It was reduced, but not eliminated, by the high-pass filter.
  • The left channel in each recording was deemed better and was used as the source, forced into mono, then exported as lossless WAV files.
  • WAV files converted to MP3 at 256 Kbps CBR.
