AC Hum was common on recordings in the 1960s. The standards for recording weren't very high when the end product was AM radio and vinyl records. Or maybe they just didn't hear it on loudspeakers of the day. I just bought an HD 92K early Tijuana Brass album from one of the Audiophile Record websites and every song had quite prominent AC hum. This is remarkable because A&M was one of the better recording studios (although this album may have been recorded elsewhere). So the vendor gave me my money back. But meanwhile, I was able to remove the hum from each track quite easily with modern audio processing software (think photoshop for audio).

There were people on our staff who wanted "Joy To The World" to top the list. But, we were 100% honest and went with the list that our listeners voted for in 1972 and Hey Jude was #1. Interesting to see it still on top after all those yearsZiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362488123032171256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-8842121184116167172014-06-28T21:09:32.904-07:002014-06-28T21:09:32.904-07:00Oh my God it felt so good to get to the top #1.
