Esquire 20-048 10" vinyl album.

Contributed by Gonzo and Barton Bill

This album has been stored for many years, unplayed, it was brought 2nd hand
originally, the cover condition will show that for some years before the
current collector brought it, it was not particuarily well looked after, however
the audio quality after washing and some de-noising/de-clicking is remarkable
considering it's age.

This was ripped at 16 bits and 44.1kHz with a standard Creative sound card, some
editing with Adobe Audition and Sound Forge has turned it into a very respectble
quality Mono sound.

This LP is owned by, and was ripped and edited by Barton Bill, titling and FLAC
conversion for blog presentation by Gonzo. Cover scan tidied up and edited by Gonzo

This contribution is one for the connoisseurs. It duplicates five tracks on the previous excellent contribution from delmonico "More Waxing with Whittle" (the blog will inevitably include more duplication of material as we go on) but has one track - Cherokee - not on the reissue. BJ

    No problem with the duplication of these or any other tracks. It's great to have complete lps, Eps etc lovingly restored and as originally issued (and with such evocative artwork too!).
    Many thanks to Gonzo and Barton Bill.

    I'm with Mr P, no problem with track duplication especially if they're great quality. Many thanks once again Gonzo and Barton Bill.

    Thanks Gonzo and Barton Bill for the Whittle lp.

    The 'missing' track from an earlier post is appreciated as well as an original cover. I have never even seen a picture of this before.
