John Shaw

LP to CD - Reproducing the best possible quality of sound

Welcome to Shaw Sounds Audio Transfer Services !

My name is John Shaw and have worked as an audio and maintenance engineer in London during the 1970's supporting education and associated BBC projects.

During that time I was involved in the successful installation of two radio studios at the 'Polytechnic of Central London' serving the Media Studies Dept at the School of Communication.

After a few years of freelance engineering work, I formed my own company 'Shaw Sounds' in November 1981.

My aim is to produce high quality CD transfers from old sound formats - Shellac, Acetate 78 records, Vinyl LPs, Reel to Reel tapes and Cassettes.

With the aid of the internet, orders are received from all over the UK including projects from overseas too.

Record & tape collections for conversion are always welcome whether large or small !

There seems to be increasing demand nowadays for retrieving and saving audio information to digital, it all holds valued and treasured memories for so many people!

-------------------------------------------------------

Most transfers received are processed using 'Cedar Audio' technology as a professional restoration tool - this insures the highest possible quality.

Many projects have been undertaken for museums, archive establishments, film companies and broadcasting - I particularly enjoyed producing input for the John Peel programme - 'Home Truths' for BBC Radio 4 in 2004.

Some of my work involves digitising large quantities of oral history archive tapes - this is particularly satisfying, knowing that the content will be preserved for years to come for future generations.

With the growing popularity of genealogy these days, vintage audio recordings are becoming an interesting and necessary addition to family history research and documentation.

It's always a pleasure to transfer vinyl LP and 78rpm record collections for so many people!

I enjoy listening to music of high quality and earn a living from allowing others to do the same. By paying attention to the smallest detail, I am an enthusiast in the quest for ultimate performance.

My interest in audio started many years ago building 'crystal set' radios and listening to the 'Home Service' on the BBC medium wave band - I'm afraid that dates me a bit!
I also remember with affection visiting the "Radio Show" exhibition each year at Earls Court, London, searching out all the products that reproduced the best quality of sound! Roberts Radio and Hacker Brothers VHF transistor receivers come to mind - beautiful ! Well, things have come a long way since then and the level of fidelity sound seems to have reached an all time high.

As a musician at my local church, I have the opportunity to play a range of musical instruments, therefore have an ongoing interest in all types and styles of music and their sound reproduction.

It brings a lot of satisfaction to be able to produce, restore and transfer music recordings to CD especially vintage and archive gems!

These days the "Compact Disc" format is one of the most practical and user-friendly methods of reproducing audio at a high standard - it's small, efficient and reliable.
By transferring old material to CDR, customers have been able to relive the past and listen to recordings that will not spoil or deteriorate.

My company slogan is "Reproducing the best possible quality of sound", my aim is to maintain that service for the listener at all times!

John Shaw.
