This was actually recorded before Songs for People with Two Ears, and contains some of the same tracks; I decided to keep it anyway. The title represents the fact that all of these had at some point been ripped to MP3s and were stored on the computer, though I have vinyl copies of most of them on the shelf; otherwise they have little in common. The cover art has been sitting in my picture directory for about ten years and I seem to have lost whatever credits I may have had for it, alas.

This is a collection of popular, lesser-known, and sometimes almost completely unknown girl-group and other female-type tracks, scrounged from various sources. Most of them are in mono. The cover art is a 1950s ad for DuPont Nylon, then a popular fabric for hosiery; I scraped off the text overlay.

This is the first CD-R I ever produced and decided to keep. The title indicates that all these tracks are in stereo; this matters because most of them are most commonly found in mono, when they’re found at all. The cover art is a mostly-unchanged template from Adaptec (later Roxio) Easy CD Creator, which I used for my earliest burns before switching to Nero; I added both the Wendex logo and a copy of the old 1960s Liberty Records “Visual Sound Stereo” tag.

When I started burning CDs for my own use, I decided to come up with a custom imprint, mostly because I thought it would look wicked cool. (And when someone as old as I am falls back on a phrase like “wicked cool,” you know he’s overly smitten with an idea.)

This site is primarily a reference point for myself so I can see what I’ve done, what I’ve yet to do, and occasionally to show off to friends. It’s certainly of no value to anyone else. (And no, you can’t have copies; I’m not inclined to cheese off the RIAA, especially since they can afford a lot more lawyers than I can.)
