CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Read what some of our satisfied customers had to say...
To Graham, Thank-you so much for all your hard work, and making it possible for me and my family to hear our late father's voice again after so many years. Chris Dilley, Clacton-on-sea, Essex
Graham, Listened to CD and considering what you had to deal with I am delighted. This was recorded over 40 years ago and to have something to remind me of those carefree days is wonderful. Thank you so much, Mr. P. Jones, Derbyshire
Dear Graham, I must say that I am really impressed with not only the quality of the audio transfer to CD, but also the presentation of the CD packages & the attention to detail in the contents listing - First Class! It was certainly interesting to hear the messages & the voice of my Great Aunt, who emigrated to New Zealand in 1909 never to return to the UK. The tape dates from 1967 (44 years ago) and after nearly 60 years in NZ she still had a hint of a Wiltshire accent, which reminds me so much of my Grandfather. She died aged 89 in 1976, so hers, like some of the others on the tape are now lost voices. Thank you so much for bringing these back to us. Yours sincerely, Mr. D. Mould, Builth Wells
Dear Graham, Thank you for the CD and tape which arrived safely this weekend. I have listened to the CD and am delighted with it, and especially for the way you have illustrated the disc and contained complete with titles. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I meet who may require the service you offer. Regards, Mr. P. Nolan, Ceredigion, West Wales
Dear Graham, With many thanks for all your hard work turning a much-loved worn out old cassette into two great CDs I can actually listen to! Regards, Samantha King, France
Dear Graham, Many thanks for the CDs. The results are excellent - much better than I had expected. The C90 tracks are particularly impressive considering the quality of the "original" which was taped from a Bush auto record player over forty years ago. The cases and print are also first class. Regards, Mr. G. Hussell, Worcester
Dear Graham, Many thanks for such a swift service and for making such a good job of restoring the recording of my mother and aunt. I'm sure the person who made the original recording could not have conceived that 21st century technology would see the results of his labours secured for perpetuity. I'm glad that you did not over process the original sound - the balance of "eggs and bacon" and clarity of the voices is just right. I shall definitely be in touch again if any more lost gems come to light. With best wishes, Mr. R. Duerden, Biggar
Dear Graham, Re:- Charles Dickens tapes: Having read your previous feedback, I had 'great expectations' - my experience and the incredible quality of the finished item far exceeded this! A wonderful service which I fully intend to use again. Many thanks, R. Carlton-Gwilliam, Cheshunt
Dear Graham, Many thanks for the 2 CDs. Listening again to my Grandad's voice certainly brought back some memories. To record his stories I suspect he used one of those tape players about the size of a book where the tape went in the top and the big buttons were below along one edge. Recording quality was always going to be a challenge! Thank you again for putting this recording into a format I can play! Yours sincerely, Sinead Malone, Chester
Hi Graham, I would like to thank you so very much for the stirling work you did in transferring my vinyl to CD. There are too many superlatives for me to use as to how pleased I am with what you have done and the results. Your full remastering service is beyond reproach. Long may you reign! Rest assured that should anyone else require transfers of vinyl to CD etc, your name will be my absolute answer - period. Thanks again - will be in contact for more vinyl to CD transfers in the very near future. With thanks and kind regards, Michael Cuthbert, Guernsey
Dear Graham, I received the CDs this morning. Thank you, I am really pleased with them especially how you packaged and labelled them. Many thanks again, Yours sincerely, Bhrona Long, London
Dear Graham, Thank you so much for sending the CD made from my ancient tapes - it is excellent and such good quality. I will look out for the next ones to send you. With best wishes, Sylvia Gower
Dear Mr. Joiner, I received the CD from you this morning. I cannot thank you enough for the speed in which you turned this job around. The sound quality of the CD is absolutely wonderful, much better than I had expected. As my mother-in-law was Greek, being able to play her favourite music at her cremation will mean a great deal to my wife and to her other Greek relatives. Please accept my thanks once again, Yours sincerely Tony Elgie, Brixton
Once again, your impeccable standards! Kind regards, Ian Morrell, Lincs
Hi Graham, Warmest thanks and congratulations on a first-class service in every respect. Yours, Barry Lyndon
Dear Graham, Thank you so much for the LP and CD which came today. It is fantastic to finally be able to hear the soundtrack and the quality of transfer is nothing less than spectacular. Thank you so much. I will most certainly be using you for any other transfers, and I will be delighted to recommend you to any of my friends looking for the same service. Thanks once again for such a great job. Yours, Michael Clarke, Middlesex Hi Graham Just to say a million thanks for the transfer of my record to CD. The sound is superb and the CD case and notes really complement the overall look and feel. I appreciate the personal note with the CD which all adds to an A1 service. I will certainly be coming back again.
Keep up the great work !
Kind Regards
Mark Roberts, Bedfordshire
Dear Graham, A BIG thank you for yesterday in the studio. Your service, if I can call it that, was exemplary. My Dad and Chuchill would have admired and appreciated it too! I am so delighted with the CDs. Do keep a copy of the whole cover, because I may order extra ones for my nieces and nephews at some point. Best wishes, A. Donaldson, S.W. London Hi Graham, Thank you so much for doing a brilliant job of transferring an old open reel tape to CDs, and beautifully presented in it's CD case. A totally professional job.

A little piece of history preserved! Thankyou again for taking the time to do this so promptly, Regards, J. Kingdon, West Dulwich, London
Dear Mr. Joiner, Many thanks again. High standard more than maintained. I. Morrell, Lincs.

Dear Graham, Thank you so much for the CDs. I'm very pleased with the quality of the work. If I need anything similar done in future I will get back to you, and will recommend you to friends. Once again, many thanks. Best regards, J. Tate, London
Dear Graham, I received your package today with three CDs and cassette tape, thank you very much. Yes I am very pleased indeed with the job you've done, with the transfer and editing and also the labeling on CDs and cases, it's very professionally done indeed. I will certainly contact you in the future should I need any similar work doing and will also recommend you to my friends. Yours gratefully, J. Doherty, Birmingham
Hi Graham, Just a quick e-mail to say how pleased I was with the double CD you put together, the sound quality is incredible along with the inserts as well. Your cheque will be sent next week along with another tape to be transferred. Kind regards, Andy, Nottingham Hi Graham, Just a quick note to thank you for the CDs which are beyond my anticipated expectations. The recordings have been greatly improved and the presentation of the CD box is excellent. Sincerely, D. Luckins, Gillingham, Kent
Hi Graham, Thank you so much for the return of my LPs and the superb job you have done with the Re-mastering to CD. I am so pleased with the results, the CD sounds quite outstanding. I have some LPs due to be sent from the USA, and I will send them off to you as soon as they come by post. I also told some of my music friends of the superb job you have done with my LPs :) Once again a big thank you, and more LPs will be coming your way in a week or so. Kind regards, G. Smither, East Sussex. Dear Mr. Joiner, Thank you so much for the restored CDs - you have done a brilliant job. Yours faithfully, Mrs. H. Treasure, Kent Dear Graham, Many many thanks for your attention to my record. This is important to me as it belongs to articles I have related to this war nurse. I am very well pleased, With thanks to you again, Mr. J. A. Abram, Southport Thanks to the sensitive skills of Graham Joiner of 'Audio Restored', devoted collectors are enabled to hear treasures in LP and cassette form, brought into new currency on CD as fresh as paint, and sounding even better than one remembered. This is achieved expeditiously, at a reasonable cost, and with convincing and attractive artwork. J. C. B. Foster, Middlesex Dear Graham, Gabrieli package came today - great result, many thanks. Sounds as good as it could possibly be in the circumstances, and looks terrific. So well done for all the skill and care you obviously put into this, and keep up the good work. Best regards, S. Midgley, West Lothian Dear Graham, Thank you for the work you have done in cleaning the vinyl, shellac and lacquer discs held by the Essex Sound and Video archive.

Dear Mr. Joiner, Many thanks for another excellent job. I have a few more records I would like restored and I will send them to you in the next few weeks. Best regards, P. Gibbs, St Austell, Cornwall Graham, Thanks for the tape transfer - you did a wonderful job! Regards, G. Cartmell, Lancashire Dear Graham,

Hi Graham,
I just wanted to say I've now received my CD in the post and am absolutely delighted with it. The quality and packaging is first rate. Many thanks for doing it, and I feel sure that you might be getting some repeat business from me in the new year! Thanks again T. Walker, Milton Keynes.Graham
I have just taken delivery of your transfer of my LP to CD and I am extremely impressed. The sound quality is excellent - I expected that. What I was not prepared for was the exceptionally high quality of the produced item - the CD itself, the label etc. As the CD is a rather special gift I am delighted with the production values of the item, and consider it to be excellent value for money.
J. Flowers, Harpenden.
Dear Graham, Many thanks for a superb CD, received today. Reproduction is excellent - also presentation. The amount of work you have to put into the transfer of the tape doesn't bear thinking about. Many thanks for your help. K. Claxton, London. Dear Mr Joiner, Cheque enclosed. Many thanks for the excellent service. D. Hughes, Llandudno, Conwy. Dear Graham, Many thanks for the CD - it sounds great and the artwork was an unexpected bonus - all carried out to the highest standard. I will certainly send you more minidiscs and be recommending you to my friends. J. Lambert, Twickenham. Dear Graham, Thank you so much for all the help re: the reel tape, and the final copy will be an interesting start to the history of Pettaugh from 1960 to date. Also, thanks for the very efficient family delivery service - greatly appreciated. Kind regards to you and the family, Yours sincerely, Mrs R. Denyer, Suffolk. N.B. Pettaugh History Society @www.pettaugh-history.org.uk Dear Graham, Thankyou very much for the acetate to CD conversion. The piano sound is much better now. The original pieces using a Steinway (once Rachmaninoff's) were recorded onto 78s long before his death in 1943. Subsequently, these 78s were compiled onto the acetate which you have transferred. The 78s were lost by the company that made the acetate. With such a lot of erratic changes I think you have done very well to get the result you did. They are good enough to allow one to forget the reproduction and imagine the original and I'm sure that is a considerable achievement. Thankyou very much. Yours sincerely, Mrs V. Hodges, Gloucestershire. Dear Graham, I am so delighted with your skill in transferring the 70 year-old aluminium 'message' disc onto two modern CDs; also in your presentation and speed of return. All arrived in perfect order today. Best marks to you. It really is nostalgic to hear voices from the past. Soon I shall call in at the classical music shop in Glasgow to update the chap there, and leave your business card, with a request he leaves it on his counter! Many thanks indeed, M. B., Helensburgh, Scotland.
Thanks Graham, I picked the CDs up yesterday from the post office - they look great! Thanks for doing them - I will do my best to promote your fast, efficient service! Mark Longley, Thirsk, North Yorkshire. Dear Graham, Thankyou very much for your prompt service, I do appreciate it very much, as I now have the CDs to bring home with me. God bless, and thanks, Sr. P., Convent of Mercy, Wanstead. Hi Graham, Just to say many thanks again for doing the CD - it came out great! Colin Elliot, St. Albans, Herts. Hi Graham, The CD transfer of my NAB studio carts arrived safely - thank you so much for a beautiful job.
Dear Graham, Just to thank you for your help in improving the sound of my late 1920's shellac record -- I know it can't have been easy considering the somewhat dire condition of the source material! I was very happy to hear what you were able to get out of it. Thanks again,
Dear Graham I am pleased to say that you have again done a really first class job. I played the Schoenberg violin concerto first and your timing was immaculate, the encore dovetails into the proceedings so well. I really do appreciate the care you exercised. Life is a lot more enjoyable when music smooths away some of life's anxieties. Thanks again, Ken Wyman, Brentwood, Essex
Hi Graham Thanks for doing my album so quickly - I was well impressed. It looks really professional and sounds good for such an old, well played bit of vinyl. Kind Regards Alex Smoleskis, Essex Hi Graham,
Just a quick note to thank you very much for the excellent service, I'm amazed at the CDs, they're just great!
Best Wishes
Phil Middleton, Herts Dear Graham, Many thanks - first class! I could not have wished for anything different - or better. I played the Seefried first - it was so good, I played it three times straight off in its entirety - three hours of glorious singing! Both recordings mean so much to me. I appreciate your work and I enjoy them all the more now know they are 'safely' on CD. Ken Wyman, Brentwood, Essex
"The service provided by Audio Restored was first class. The quality of the recordings was better than I'd hoped, and a lot better than my amateur attempts. Having digital recordings of family memories provides a permanent legacy for future generations to enjoy." J Manley, Herts Dear Graham, I was absolutely delighted with the quality of the recordings of my rather old vinyl favourites from the past. They sound fantastic and just as good quality as when they were new! However, I was especially pleased that you were able to digitise my Uncle's poem that he recorded on an acetate disc at 78rpm whilst on service in the Army in June 1950. I was able to email an MP3 version to all the family members, including my uncle who plans to use it as a "novelty" after dinner parties. As he has lived in Africa since the 1960's this has brought him back some very special memories. It has been sitting in a record box since I last played it probably in the early 1970's!! Thanks again for the excellent quality of service and the chance for us all to relive those golden memories from the past. I will definitely be using this service again as I have a large vinyl collection and neither the time, skill nor equipment to clean and digitise my cherished vinyl favourites to the level that Audio Restored can do! Thanks again. Clive Smith, Hertford. Dear Graham I found Audio Restored to be an exceptionally professional and helpful company to deal with and who produced a top (enhanced) quality copy of an vinyl LP onto CD. Dr S. Moss, Cambridge Many thanks Graham for the excellent quality copy of the cassette onto CD. The CD copy has allowed my partner and her children to relive memories of their father / grandfather telling Nursery Rhymes to my partner, when she was just 4 years old! Sadly, my partner's father passed away in 2008 and your CD copy has allowed fond memories of my partner's childhood to be preserved forever. Many thanks. Hi Graham, Hugh Robinson, Southampton
