| Have all the vinyl record albums by our steel guitar heroes and legends been released on CD or are there still some gems out there we should look for or be hanging onto? |

| Only a small fraction of the stuff that was put on vinyl is available on CD's. If you're into downloading music files, the selection improves considerably (for the famous artists) but you'll never see all the vinyl stuff available anywhere else. |

Spend $100 and get a USB turntable. Then you can burn CDs all day to your heart's content and have all the steel guitar albums you and others own on your very own CDs.

Herb's plan is the way to go with this even if u don't use cd's for portable (I use usb drives and use dvd discs to keep a non-volatile backup)u still gotta rip the vinyl to a suitable format (mp3,cda,wav,etc.)file....  |

Oh, agreed....and I already have a USB turntable. I guess I was looking for examples of vinyl that I may already have or should to look to acquire for that very purpose.
I don't want to spend a couple of hours converting one vinyl album to mp3 then find I could have just downloaded a few of the better tunes in a couple of minutes.
Conversely if I find Ive got a few rare vinyl steel records that aren't on CD or iTunes I want to make sure I convert them in case something happens to them.
Any examples? |

Even if older albums are out on cd, they often sound different from the vinyl albums. Sometimes they are over processed and sound flat and dull, others are "enhanced" with much more high tones an much wider stereo. If you want it like it was on vinyl, better to digitize it by yourself.
My workflow: record with a usb record player with Sony Soundforge Professional. Then I do a Clipped Peak Restoration. Then a Click and Crackle removement with very conservative settings. Then I take a noise sample from a silent part and apply the noise reduction to the complete track, again with conservative settings. Then I normalize peaks to 0 dB. After that divide it in seperate tracks for each song. It will come out much better this way.

And for your steel guitar vinyl needs, B0B has a whole ton of them for sale here on the forum store. I just picked up Bobby Black's "California Freedom."

I always thought ~>Suite Steel would be among the first
to be reissued on CD but, to my knowledge, it hasn't yet
(and if it still hasn't, it likely never will be)

| I could be wrong but I don't think Curley Chalker's "Big Hits on Big Steel" is available on CD. |

| Neither "Big Hits on Big Steel" or "Counterpoint" are available on CD. "Emmons Guitar, Inc." was available on CD but now is out of print and gets a high price on e-bay. It would be great to have these on 180 gram. |

I would add Charley Pride In Person (Live at Panther Hall) with Lloyd Green killing it all night on a 63/64 Fingertip and a brand new (in 1968) Twin Reverb with JBL's...among many, many others. Thrift stores are good sources for vintage country, at least in GA they are.
