History of Sound Recording ♪♪♪ Year = 1925
The advent of electrical recording in 1925 drastically improved the quality of the recording process of disc records. There was a period of nearly five years, from 1925 to 1930, when the premier technology for home sound reproduction consisted of a combination of electrically recorded records with the specially-developed Victor Orthophonic phonograph, a spring-wound acoustic phonograph which used wave-guide engineering and a folded horn to provide a reasonably flat frequency response.
RAFAEL IBARBIA
Rafael Ibarbia was born in Barcelona, Spain. He is known for his work as a filmmusic composer on Carioco y su invención (1967), Un marciano de rondón (1968) and El armario del tiempo (1971).
Ibarbia, who is well-known in Spain, directed the orchestra for the Spanish Eurovision Song Contest entries in the 60s and 70s.
In 1963, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1974 and 1977 he directed the orchestra for Spain. The 4th time, in 1968, Massiel won the Eurovision Song Contest with La la la
A few days before the 1968 final, Ibarbia re-wrote the arrangement of “La La La” and that proved to be a winning move. TVE (Spanish Broadcasting Company) attributes the Spain victory in 1968 to Ibarbia “for 99 percent”
Ibarbia worked for the TVE Sinfonic Orchestra for 27 years.
Music critics call Ibarbia “a symbol of Spanish television in the 1960s.”
JUDY IN DISGUISE
Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)" is a song that was a hit for the Louisiana-based John Fred and his Playboy Band in early 1968. The song was co-written by Fred with bandmate Andrew Bernard.
The song features strings, brass, a sitar, piano, bass, guitar, drums, breathing sounds, and dissonant string sounds. Its title is a play on Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
The other members of the Playboy band did not like the unusual slow abrupt ending with Fred intoning the final line: "I guess I'll just take your glasses"
The song also reached nbr1 in the U.S., Germany and Switzerland
MHO
Great orchestral arrangement of the famous 1968 hit with the Ibarbia Orchestra in good shape.
Organ, guitars, strings, brass...... it's all here and the end result of Mr Ibarbia's work is a fabulous listening experience.
Of course .... if this "golden oldie" would make you wanna dance.... nobody can stop you ;-) !
Enjoy !
