Elvis Has(n't) Left The Building (Elvisploitation)

"Telecine" Film Transfer (A Nightmare In Celluloid) (Halloween Special 2017)

The scariest (in the existentialist sense, at least) Archive Halloween to date!

Episode 1639 min2018-02-01

Ben's Music "Career", Vol. 1 (The Outsider years, Pt. 1)

Bring your earplugs! And, no, this isn’t false modesty—these recordings are pretty harsh (in every meaning of the word).

Episode 1719 min2018-02-15

Dolby Noise Reduction (The Hard Way)

This is what happens when Benny-boy’s control-freak tendencies get the best of him. Honestly, it’s not too terrible. Shame the product is mediocre.

Laserdisc, Vinyl & Cassette Computer Programs

The Archive sets sail for the United Kingdom in search of some unusual computer storage and sharing methods—we weren’t disappointed.

Episode 2022 min2018-03-29

Silent-Era Talking Pictures

These talking pictures will never catch on…come to think of it, these didn’t.

Episode 2127 min2018-04-12

Vinyl Potpourri

Funny how a little kiddie music, a little commercialism and a heaping helping of Easy Listening stewed in someone’s garage for 40+ years equals such a lovely sonic bouquet.
