Welcome to Autumn Violets Music

Different from any other music website 'Autumn Violets Music' list the music by date of chart entry and not by artist or song.

In this digital age have you found it frustrating that you can't hear or find a track you once loved on any streaming or downloading website. Have you concluded that the only way you will get that single is to track the original down?. That might be one solution, if you can play vinyl.

LOOK NO FURTHER

You often find with streaming websites and downloading websites that some great tracks have been re-recorded later on. It might be the original artist but not the original recording. Take the 1979 great hits by 'Dollar', 'Loves Gotta Hold On Me' and 'Who Were You With In The Moonlight'?. On streaming websites they are there but not the original singles.

Take the 1996 single 'Virus' by Iron Maiden. The version on the CD single was different to every other version and only on the single. Every streaming, download and any other way to get this track is always the extended album remix. Only by tracking down the original CD single will you get this version which is priced between £25 - £140 on auction websites. We have got it for you. Other great tracks where the original singles have disapeared are 'Beat The Clock' by Sparks. Only the version on the album 'Number 1 In Heaven' can be found which is totally different to the chart single, even on the 'Now Yearbook 1979'. Or, In 1996 we get the hit movie 'Trainspotting'. One of the soundtrack singles is 'Bedrock featuring KYO' with the great track 'For What You Dream Of'. Only the Full on extended mix can be found anywhere. Only by us tracking down the orgininal single can you hear the single that charted. This is a pattern that is repeated often. Again on 'Now Yearbook 1982' 'Come On Eileen' by Dexys Midnight Runners is the edited version without the violin intro. This is another pattern that is repeated throughout what is now only available by tracking down the original singles.

The very idea of the 'NOW Yearbook' series came from here. The difference is here you have EVERYTHING that entered the U.K. charts of the selected year and not just the highlights.

A total of 27 singles entered the new U.K. Singles Chart in 1952. We start with the first top 12 Singles (In Stereo) compiled on November 14th and add each single as it entered the charts.

This is continued for every consecutive week until December 31st 2006. From then on ALL chart music is digitized and available on other websites.

From 1953 onwards you will notice the lists in 'Chapters'. This is for two reasons, one reason is each chapter is a maximum playing time of 80 minutes so if you want you can burn full chapters to CD-r at home and print the covers provided in .jpeg. And secondly, it splits the year up for easy access, so if you wanted to see what was entering the charts on your birthday for example, just scroll down to the year and chapter that covered that date. All dates of chart entry are listed on the back covers as shown.

With the exception of CD, all music files are professionally tagged so once you have your order your search engine will find your tracks effortlessly. We do our digital remastering using either .FLAC or .WAV files for lossless quality but unless otherwise asked tracks are supplied in .mp3 (320kbps) for best sound quality and versatility.

Unlike streaming, all these tracks are yours to own without any DRM or embedded digital restrictions. All tracks are analog remastered using a state of the art DAC. So you can copy, share, remix and DJ. Simply insert the USB drive. Open the files and play. Copy the files to your storage HDD for back-up and/or transfer to your digital listening device.

Autumn Violets Music is aimed at DJs, Radio Stations, Bars, Clubs, Shops, Period Drama through Television & Theatre production companies, educational use or anyplace with PPL. (We will never ask you for your intended use or private details)

What makes us 'Extra Special' is that for the first time ever we promise you all those chart entries that were only ever mastered and published in inferior 'Mono' sound quality throughout the 1950s,1960s and early 1970s for the first time in TRUE HI-FI STEREO.

NOT REMIXES. How have we got these? With new and sophisticated (and expensive) separation software, we are able to take the mono master and first split it to duel Left and Right Channels. Then we make our own 8 track (Multitrack) Masters. One track will be vocals, the others, guitars, piano, drums, guitars ect. Then exactly as it would have been done at the time had the track been mastered in stereo to begin with, we use those tracks to assign each track to the Left and Right by 'Panning'. We DO NOT add MIDI or any new instruments or vocals or take any of the original track away. If the vocals or another track is not quite as clear as the others we will improve the quality of that track only. The end result is the TRUE HI-FI STEREO VERSION of a title you have never heard so good. As if it was just recorded today (long after the artist has passed).

In some cases where remastering was never done and the original master tape recording has deteriorated. We have tracked down the original 'Shellec 78rpm Gramaphone Record' to use as our starting post.

BE CAREFUL OF FAKE 'MONO - STEREO' ON YOU TUBE. A LOT OF UPLOADERS DO NOT DO A VERY GOOD OR PROFESSIONAL JOB, IT SOUNDS DREADFUL AND THEY EVEN ADD THEIR OWN EXTRA INSTRUMENTS. We find this is an insult to the original artists.

To enlarge the lists as shown double click on the photo of the covers.

SADLY WE CAN NOT SUPPLY SINGLE TRACKS. WE SUPPLY BY CHAPTER, YEAR OR DECADE. YOU CAN ALSO BUY THE ENTIRE COLLECTION. PERFECT FOR DJ's, RADIO STATIONS, BARS, CLUBS OR ANY AUDIOPHILE THAT JUST WANTS EVERYTHING.

If you are looking for one rare single that you can't see or hear anywhere else. Due to the nature of this website, there is a chance we may have the single (CD or 45rpm vinyl) and we would be happy to sell the single on to you. Just email us for more details.

IF THE YEAR YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS NOT LISTED. PLEASE BE PATIENT AND COME BACK AGAIN SOON.

THIS WEBSITE IS WORK IN PROCESS AND BUILDING.
