Howdy Folks, I'm back with another local record rip. This time, it's a recording of the Findlay High School Concert Band in 1976, performing various pieces, including some with spoken word aspects. I hope this brings back fond memories for some of you, and if you have any info on this performance or those who played in it, I'd love to hear about it!

Howdy folks,

A lot of you showed some interest in my previous post about my Christians and Cults LP that, prior to my rip and upload, did not have any kind of existence online that I was able to find. Archives may have it somewhere that's not accessible to the public, I'm unsure of that, but it's now available to anyone interested. As I stated in my first post, I would be uploading the second disc as soon as I had the time to finish editing it. I finally got to that today, so I'm uploading it now. You'll be able to find a link to it right beneath this paragraph, and a link to the original post below that. I hope you enjoy.

[Archival] I Ripped a 1960s Walter Martin (The Bible Answer Man) spoken-word LP on cults. From what I've seen, zero copies of the audio existed online until now : r/lostmedia

Howdy Folks,

I like to recover and digitize lost media on records. I was sorting through my collection fairly recently and came across a record titled "Wheels" from the Revell model car comapny, likely early to mid 60s. I thought it would be something pretty simple and childlike given the intended audience at the time, but it was actually a short interview with Clare MacKichan, the lead designer of the Chevy Nomad, not recorded anywhere but for this record.

I haven't been able to find this audio uploaded anywhere online, so I decided to rip it myself, and I figured that of all communities, this one would appreciate it and understand it best. I hope you enjoy, and I hope this brings back some fond memories for someone!

Hello folks,

Like probably most people here, I'm a Findlay local, and I'm very interested in preserving the history of our town, however small. A few of you may have seen my post covering a Findlay-specific RCA record the other day, that's one of 3 records I currently have that are either from Findlay directly, or Findlay related. My main goal is to save old media that has no recording online anywhere, and Findlay specifically is a subset of that goal.

I've come here to ask for your help finding any other forms of media created by locals or about Findlay in general, the three I've found have come together over a span of a few years. If you know of any music groups who recorded here, that'd be helpful. If you know of any churches or politicians who made a record here, that'd be helpful too. I'm also open to VHS tapes and cassette tapes, from roughly the early 1900s through the 90s, as I have the tools to digitize and preserve all of them. If it's a Marathon Petroleum corporate training record, or your grandfather's church group who pressed an album to sell to their congregation, I'm interested. And if you have something but aren't comfortable parting with it, that's completely fine, I'm happy to just document what it is, or come digitize it and hand it right back to you.

Any information would be very helpful, anything from names to the media itself can be useful in my mission to digitize the lives of people here.

Next up I'll have a record from Tennyson Guyer, a Findlay local who served in Ohio's House of Representatives for many years, and a recording of either the 76th performance of Findlay High School's concert band, or a Bicentennial recording, hard to say for sure based on the album name alone.

Thank you for helping me digitize the lives of people here!

I have a very large record collection, and I DO NOT discriminate on what gets added to it. I regularly obtain records with absolutely no information on them anywhere online and intentionally seek them out when I can so I'm able to digitize them so they aren't lost when the record itself stops existing. Here I have what's known as a "Song Poem Record" which was a mail-in business from the 50s to the last 70s, at least. Anyone, anyone at all, could write up some lyrics or a poem, and mail it in to this company to have it arranged, set to music and performed by an in-house vocalist. After that, they'd mail a copy (or a few) back to you. This is one of those records, which previously existed nowhere except for my collection and possibly the minds of those who wrote the songs decades ago.

I'll leave a link to it here, so folks can give it a listen if they wish.
