I am trying to locate the music listed on the attached document. i have tried all my sources to no avail. I prefer the older music dating from the 70's on back be sourced from either vinyl albums or from CD's that were pressed back in the 80's. many of you may or may not realize the reasoning behind that request as it pertains to over the air audio but many of the modern china pressed CD's have phasing issues over the air on old songs such as Mama's and Papa's Creque Alley or california dreamin. also they need to be in uncompressed wav format. i use "Radio DJ" automation. Tagging is not necessary but would be appreciated.
a properly ripped uncompressed wav track will be in the area of 50mb area for a 3 or so minute song. obviously too large to email they will need to be hosted on a temporary FTP Server.
i would like to source the vast community here for these songs i am missing, having a hard time locating and would like to add to my format.
some of the songs such as We love the Pirate Stations by the Roaring Sixties was only available on vinyl album and never released in any other format making them very difficult to locate.
email: [email protected] if you can help.
thanks
The two songs you mentioned by the Mama's and Papa's are there sourced from vinyl(the original album) and the uploader says exactly what the record was played on(turntable, cartridge) With the pay version of youtube downloader you can chose the format and I think WAV is there.

problem is youtube is always compressed so even if it says uncompressed wav the source was compressed to begin with so the wav will still be compressed.
once you compress a file it cant be uncompressed.
You're going to find it difficult to find uncompressed versions of some of these songs.
I can probably locate most of them in either mp3 or flac format (mostly mp3, unfortunately). So if there are some that can't be found in any version, period, let me know, and I can probably get you a compressed version.
Sometimes beggars can't be choosers.
I just took a quick look for the first few songs on the list and have pretty much every one in flac (lossless) format, often from vinyl. If it's from CD, then I really don't know where the CD is from. I also have that Pirate song, but only in mp3.
