For some time now I have been collecting audio tapes from Apollo missions, and have been digitizing them. I now have a large enough collection to be confident it is worthy of a post here.While most of these sets are small, some are very large indeed. The most notable sets are that of Dutch and German broadcasts, which are very rare and I have found very little information on. I have also been told my ABC recordings are quite rare. You can listen to all these recordings on my public archive. - NL-1: Apollo 8 through 15.
See PNG file for reels and missions. Several 1/4 inch R2R reels that were used to record Dutch television and radio broadcasts about Apollo missions. Notes: Revox A77 can't play slow enough to play tapes at correct speed. RAW files are unprocessed, PROC files slowed down to compensate for incorrect speed. - NL-2: Apollo 12 through 17.
Several 1/4 inch R2R reels that were used to record Dutch television and radio broadcasts about Apollo missions. Tapes also contain German and English broadcasts.Notes: Track layout was not always clear, I tried to label tracks (TRK#) as the chronological order they would have been recorded, and should be played back in. - Ebay-1-AS11: Apollo 11
Three 1/4 inch R2R tapes with home recordings, presumable off TV. - Ebay-2-AS17: Apollo 17
One 1/4 inch R2R tape with home recordings, presumable off TV.Notes: Only Apollo audio on one side. - Ebay-3: Apollo 11 and 13
Six 1/4 inch R2R tapes with home recordings, presumable off TV.Notes: ABC broadcasts, which apparently are pretty rare. Also contains audio from state dinners and visits with astronauts. - Ebay-4-AS11 (work in progress): Apollo 11
+50 1/4 inch R2R tapes with home recordings, presumable off TV.Notes: Huge lot of CBS Apollo 11 coverage, before, during and beyond. This lot might contain the entire Apollo 11 CBS broadcast. It may be a copy of some kind of master, given it starts and stops with the CBS jingle every time. Could anybody confirm this? - Thrift-1: Apollo 11
1/4 inch audio tape found at thriftstore. Notes: Origin unknown. Left channel is a to me unknown noise with some kind of beep every second. Right channel is voice. - Thrift-2 Apollo 17
1/4 inch width 10 inch reel audio tape.Notes: Appear to be recordings of CAPCOM ground control loop at Houston. Origin unknown. Please tell me what you think. If you got any tapes you want digitized, email me! | |
