"The Six Wives of Henry VIII is the debut studio album from the English keyboardist and composer Rick Wakeman, released in January 1973 on A&M Records. It is an instrumental progressive rock album with its concept based on his interpretations of the musical characteristics of the six wives of Henry VIII. Wakeman decided on the concept in 1972 while he toured the United States with the rock band Yes. As he read a book about the wives on his travels, melodies he wrote the previous year came to him and were noted down. Wakeman plays a variety of keyboard instruments including piano, Minimoog synthesiser, Mellotron, harpsichord and organ. Musicians from Yes and Strawbs, who he performed with prior to Yes, also play on the album."

RIPPING & NOTES

Ripping Equipment?:

Cartridge: Ortofon OMB 3E
Phono amp: marantz NR 1501
ADC: Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme
Software: WaveLab 6, ClickRepair
ASIO4ALL 2.10


PERSONAL NOTE :

Vinyl Condition (Rick Wakeman, Six Wives): Good

This is not a pure Vinyl Rip Raw. The vinyl, for his exterior appearance, seems that it is in good condition, but at the moment of the signs of wear reproducing it they are more than audible. I have not still had any more remedy that to process the file RAW with ClickRepair (automatic, level 25).Nonetheless, in the resultant file it appreciates a beautiful sound and an excellent dynamic range (12).

I am glad you did this choice, you did good job, to me it sounds very good.
The scans are best "Six Wives" scans to find arround, with 3 small mistakes but it can be recovered.
Thank you very much for Six Wives.
Take a care.

Thanks for this. There seems to be a problem at the 2 minute mark on track 2.

Es probable que encuentren errores. El formato vinilo nunca ha estado libre de errores o sonidos extraños al mismo, por tanto, no sean tan exigentes con nuestros trabajos de ripeo. Mis discos son viejas adquisiciones y, aunque en relativo buen estado, han sido muy utilizados. He dicho mil veces que la herramienta ClickRepair no es infalible, no me extraña que sea la causante de algunos de los errores. También pueden ser errores de compresión al formato WV....Finalmente, no me dedico profesionalmente a ripear vinilos ni dispongo de tiempo para escuchar los resultados varias veces, simplemente comparto mis discos de la mejor manera que conozco. Como dice Mr Greats, son errores subsanables, por tanto, tomen su tiempo y corrijan mis errores a su gusto.

Are likely to find errors. The vinyl format has never been free of errors or sounds the same, therefore, not be so picky about ripping our work. My records are old and acquisitions, though in relatively good condition, have been widely used. I've said a thousand times ClickRepair tool is not foolproof, no wonder it is the cause of some of the errors. They can also be compression format errors WV .... Finally, I do not rip vinyl professionally or have time to hear the results several times, just share my albums in the best way I know. As stated MrGreat are correctable errors, therefore, take time and correct my mistakes to your liking.

yerbas07 : you know you can go up to 30 or 35 in automatic mode, wavelet X1 or 2, pitch protection on, and reverse on, and you get small amounts of errors. Most of the times, errors would be that some attacks of the sound are softned. I had troubles to accept it too, but clickrepair even in automatic mode around 20 30 is not changing a lot in the original vinyl sound, almost only the clicks and pops gets removed.

@ fredidts
Thanks for your explanation.

What would be ideal to share vinyl LP have new or in excellent condition and not have to rely on to clean ClickRepair strange sounds (clicks, pops ...) There are many sites that already share the vinyl in RAW mode, ie unedited.
