Introducing "Classic Siren Recordings" - (updated, I need your help!)
Posted: Thu Nov 04, 2021 12:43 am
Update 11/25: Well, that's it! I've uploaded everything I have. I've enjoyed the positive responses from everyone. However, after all of this, I do realize there are still a bunch of recordings that are "lost" at this point. I'm putting out a call to everyone, especially older members, to dig out your old CDs and hard drives, and lets get the rest of these old recordings uploaded. Let me know if you have something I don't have posted, and let's get it uploaded!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So a thread over in the Mystery Sirens forum made me realize that most older siren recordings prior to 2007ish have never been uploaded to Youtube. Before the advent of that site, siren recordings were uploaded to file sharing sites and shared on this forum. Back then, a siren recording was a real treat as there were far and few between compared to now. In 2002, I started "The Siren Contest" to inspire more people out in the field and record sirens (with a real siren being awarded as a grand prize) which helped get the ball rolling to where we are now today...spoiled with recordings!
So a few days ago, I stated a Youtube channel called Classic Siren Recordings. This channel will upload siren recordings recorded in the days before Youtube, some which were recorded as far back as the 1980s. While the audio quality is a far cry from HD recordings we are used to today, I have some really awesome and one of a kind recordings that have so much character behind them!
As I'm limited one the amount of videos I can upload per day, it will take around two months to upload what I have. I do not own any of the videos (except one), and I have very limited information about who recorded it and where. Everything I know about the recording will be listed in the description. If there is a video that is already common on Youtube or is your video, let me know and I can take it down.
With that said, I will need everyone's help in locating older recordings. I have the majority of them, although I do know there some that are missing (a BIG thanks to whomever sent me the lost Siren Contest recordings a few years ago!!!). For now though, please save them to the side or PM me, as I have about 500 recordings to post. Anyway, subscribe and enjoy, and please share with everyone!
