Alberta Hunter: Look for the Silver Lining (1983)

Columbia FC 38970

This is Alberta Hunter's last studio LP. I've been lucky to find all four of her latter-day LPs at the thrift shop.

This LP is in good shape inside and out. It is not on CD.

Look for the Silver Lining

(Update: my digitization process was foiled by advancing technology; I mostly post work that others have digitized for YouTube. Older tracks should still be accessible per the following procedure) Click on any song title to go to a box.net page for that song. Our goal is to post only tracks that are not available on CD or as mp3s – songs that cannot be purchased anywhere. We hope to raise interest in these out-of-print LPs without taking away a single cent of revenue from those who profit from the sale of music. If you find any of these tracks available digitally, please contact us and they will be promptly removed.

If you enjoyed any of the music, please leave a comment. I hope that these sample tracks will inspire you to track down this out-of-print music.

All LPs are cleaned with a VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine, then converted to CD using a harman/kardon home audio CD recorder, which uses an AKM 24-bit/96 kHz analog-to-digital converter. No digital or electronic effects are used. (Prior to November 12, 2012, all LPs were cleaned with a Spin Clean Record Washer.)
