Dr. Wheelz’ Archives    

In the course of Bert Wilson’s long and obscure career, Bert has made a sincere effort to document the music he and his colleages/cohorts/"partners in crime" were playing. Regardless of whether the world cared at all about the music being created, the musicians felt compelled to create it. Bert Wilson has reached the age of 65 and is reflecting back upon this body of work. We’ve pulled out the old reel-to-reel, and begun spinning these tapes from the 1970s & ‘80s (and a few from the late 60s). It’s a good body of work. These tapes were most often recorded at 3 ¾ ips, with a single microphone, but they sound quite acceptable. Amazing--considering that what was being recorded included a jazz drummer, more than one reed instrument, one or more trumpets—that the balance is good on so many of them and the recordings are quite listenable. As we spin these tapes, we are dubbing them to an Alesis Masterlink digital CD recorder, and creating master CDs for our archives.

These archive recordings are available for sale from this site.  As we get orders for them, we will fill them by copying them as CD-Rs on our computer and mailing them out.  These CD-Rs will have handwritten or paper labels (unless the demand is high enough to make disc label imprinting hardware worthwhile).  The cost per disc is $18 US + shipping charges, except where otherwise indicated.  We will be adding to this list periodically, so please keep checking this site for further documention of our music.
