The 1959 to mid 60's records had the best music on them. The 50's and 60's were the best times. Everything was on such a high level. Music in stores used to be special,ethereal and seemed to come from another world. It soothed you and would create an atmosphere that was ethereal and carefree. Listen to the first two tunes on this record. The 70's was the last era when this music was still in widespread use everywhere. By the 80's pop music started being played in most places and just took over quickly from there
Yeah, it’s a pity that it fell by the wayside… now everyone who remembers it would trade an internal organ to get it back into stores and places like that it was once commonplace.
No idea why, but this music does it for me really, I'm a child of the 80s but I just love this kind of music, brings out some kind of melancholic feeling that I can't explain Thanks for the efforts!
David Lebbing We're looking for people to start and operate internet-based beautiful music radio stations in order to preserve the format. We are up to 14 stations now. Please contact me at our website if you are interested in doing a station to serve your local area. thx!
By radio station, you mean the over the air terrestrial stations that used to be so common back in the day that broadcasted this sort of music? I have toyed around with the idea myself, but getting all the permits and equipment is the big dream killer for me. I am happy you have gotten 14 stations up, that is impressive. Keep up the great work!
David Lebbing, I am talking about internet-based radio stations, not over the air stations. Internet radio is fully mobile now, thanks to the many smartphones, devices available today. All of our stations are fully mobile, so our listeners can tune in while driving, while they are "out and about", provided they have an internet connection. Only difference is the device they use to access the stations (a smartphone, mobile device vs a radio receiver, car stereo one would use when accessing an AM/FM station). The stations are not expensive to do, no broadcast licenses required, etc. Most of our stations and the other separately operated BM stations are with Radionomy, who acts as our music licensor and host. Let me know if you change your mind/are interested. I have brought several people on board to do new stations to keep the beautiful music format alive.
Being able to recognize old tunes is like being one of the last, if not _the_ last, person in the family with the best shot at knowing who everyone is in those old family photos. As my dear and revered elders have been gone for some time now I realize just how much knowledge they took with them.
'Oh yes that is VERY madam. May I suggest madam tries the new bri-nylon crease free evening gowns? Only five guineas each, with ermine trim just £1/15/6 extra.' etc.

Somewhere in Budapest, I came to this beautiful cozy coffeeplace in the city. It was examination period and I had to read a book about Evolutionary Psyhology, something that was utterly boring for me. I was sitting next to the window, and it was raining lightly. There was this big classical-looking old building in front of the café, and whenever I looked outside through the window next to me, I saw it there standing high and tall. People were passing by, some speaking on their phone, others with their arms wrapped around their lovers and the other holding umbrellas from the rain, and those petty sceneries went on with no stop. I kept looking at the building, and the people, and soon, without me even feeling it, I was totally immersed. I started thinking about the distant past, how my family gathered together around dinner during my childhood, how I beat my cousin when we were kids, the little city that I grew up in, my grandma, the jobs I had until I came to Budapest and everything... This music took me on a trip to my past which I spent 20 minutes on. There was me, this music, the scenries in front of me, and the memories. I don't know how it happened or when exactly while listening to the music, but it happened and it was so beautiful...
Budapest is one of those romantic cities that has this effect. I lived there for some years and noticed it too. My favourite area was the Belvaros district and the area around the Opera House. Olyan szep az a varos, hianyazik sok.
@ 5:31: Stompin' At The Savoy. For me, these selections are the perfect background soundtrack, time machine and getaway music when doing some light chores, studying or to unstress.
I've just started collecting these records; I have 18 in all, all basic or industrial (no mood records...yet). They are gems, and they sound remarkably good for 16-2/3 rpm records. I play them on a 1967 Magnavox stereo console. It just seems apropos, somehow. I made a 'manual' spindle adapter out of the cap to an old medicine bottle; it's the perfect size. I've also ordered the 'snap-in' spindle adapters from a chap on eBay; the Micromatic changer can actually automatically handle these records without modifications or tweaks.
xaenon Remember that the grooves are 0.5 millimeters and a stereo needle is 0.7... You damage the record a little more each play then a standard stereo record which has a 0.7 millimeter groove.
Your point is well-take, but I would assume that by the time these records reach me that they've already had considerable play and are already worn. After all, if I'm doing the math right, these records would have been in service for at least nine months, during which they were played once every 1-1/2 to 2 days before being replaced, and I can't imagine that the Seeburg machine had a particularly light tracking pressure. I also make sure that when I play these records; it's with a new or nearly-new needle. In any case, though, there is currently a project to digitize them, after which the records will be retired again. I'm entertaining the idea of posting them as videos, as you have. Perhaps with some relaxing abstract visuals of some sort. Thank you for posting yours; I know a lot of people don't care for 'elevator music', but it is interesting to me, and I love seeing the videos of the BMS and Encore systems in action.
Interesting. My late father's old stereo gramophone (which he bought about 1957 I think) had a '16 rpm' speed. He told me that 16rpm records were planned but never got made. Would it be possible to play one of these Seeburg muzak records on such a gramophone, or did it require some other sort of equipment?
@@Londonfogey Seeburg records can be played on regular 16 rpm equipment, but there are a few caveats. First, the odd size (9 inches diameter, with a 2 inch center hole) makes them incompatible with the automatic features of most record changers, and you'll have to cue them by hand, and also you'll either need a special spindle adapter (or alternately, you can center them by hand). I do happen to sell 3D printed Seeburg adapters in my shapeways store, hint, hint, lol). Also, as has been pointed out, they're cut with slightly smaller grooves than the typical LP or 45. You can still play them, but play should be limited as much as possible to minimize groove damage. I suggest you transfer the audio to tape or digital at your earliest opportunity. I also recommend trying to adjust for the lightest possible tracking pressure. I actually modified an old BSR autochanger with a magnetic cartridge and adjusted it to track at just under 3 grams, and stripped the automatic features out. 16 rpm records were indeed made (not just Seeburg records!), but the reason you don't see them very often is because their use was limited mostly to 'speech' recordings like talking books, religious sermons, educational material, and the like - the sort of stuff that collectors tend to pass over at flea markets and so on. The reason it wasn't widely used for music was because the slow speed tended to limit frequency response and dynamic range. In other words, they couldn't match the sound quality of their more common 33 and 45 rpm brethren. Seeburg used the 16 rpm speed because of the great capacity it offered - approximately 42 minutes per side of a 9 inch record, roughly double that of a much larger, typical LP.
Here's to the collectors who now have this niche (a very attractive niche at that) all sewn-up. Too bad I didn't jump on this twenty or thirty years ago but at least I can listen to the music right here.
20:56 wow the tune very impressive and charismatic..full of energy..it is like you dancing slowly..and slowly you increase your movement in joyful manner yet portraying and maintaning beautiful sight
We used to have this piped in to our bowling center in Dallas. Don Carter Lanes 58 lanes.. The manager from Madison, WI was the one who specified this but I can't recall what system was used.
It appears that this is in glorious mono. Which would make sense. Likely the Seeburg system speakers ran a 60 volt line which the speakers could be run in series. Very efficient.
Shall we dance,darling? He asked me...his gentle smile and his charming,deep brown eyes went right inside my heart. I blushed while his hand held my waist and I put my hand on his shoulder...love was in the air,and the full moon was the silent witness of a new,sweet feeling... to B.A.,so far from me,so close to my heart. Looking forward to meet you,once again. :-*
And then we went back to our offices- mine in the secretarial pool, his, in the shipping and receiving department. We would see each other again after work...and spend some REAL time together.
this is so wonderful to listen to and I'd like to thank you for sharing it with so many of us that really enjoy this calming lovely vintage background music! thank you and Happy New Year 🎊🎉🎈!
the thing is: Before 'the Beatles' 'Muzak' 'Bleach rock' Switched-On this and that etc there was this music like you're hearing; Good music with no rules just right.
this music, along with several other seeburg/muzak/easy listening tracks, were used in multiple sorrow tv videos as background music. i feel like very few people get to appreciate it (and i hope he comes back someday, when his mental wellbeing is better) also the 2nd one's really good! i wonder what the song's called? 2:10
Because Seeburg sent new discs to their clients every month, as part of their "Mood Music Library" contract. That way, the music piped into those stores, offices, factories, et. al., didn't sound "the same" every day. Most of the tracks were newly recorded; others were "recycled" from previous discs, and several were actually production music cues.
It seems Seeburg had these custom records made by many different record companies. This one's from the American Decca company, a.k.a. MCA. Then there are ones from RCA, Capitol, and I believe even CBS made some.
In my simple opinion, this 1964 Seeburg Mood album contains the best mood sounds among them all. From the first song to especially the last (Skye boat song.)
“Attention, shoppers - are you ready for your summer activities? From the right casual clothing for relaxing or sports, to outdoor party supplies and even barbecue equipment, you’ll find everything you need right here!

That’s the power of scheduled uploading and having the TH-cam studio app. I fit in things here and there, but space out the distribution of those efforts over an extended period of time.
POV: you are walking around at the Wasteland while your pip-boy is recieving a radio frecuency and drinking Nuka-Cola, with your Fat Man at your shoulders...
Sadly none of my volunteer song IDers, Google song IDer, nor myself have been able to find out what the tune name is. There is a fair chance this was a Production music
At the moment nobody has claimed they have a copyright on these recordings. However, they have the possibility of someone coming forward at anytime. Contact your copyright lawyer for a definitive answer to your question as to the legality of using these recordings. I don't claim to own the copyright, so I cannot grant other people permission to reuse these recordings and distribute them publicly.
@@TengoPiedras@TengoPiedras, I split these into individual tracks and posted them a few years back. Just copy and paste the video title, and you should be able to find them. Also, I have an older Patreon post from around the same time I uploaded those individual track videos of my older S1K uploaded content you might find interesting.
Love these tracks. 😀 Do the *records* have a fade in at the start of each track? I'm asking because the 'live' Seeburg 1000 Internet radio channel has a very noticeable fade in of anything up to about 10 seconds on every track, and I'd love to know if that is a) on the disc, b) added by the owners, or c) added by the streaming service. I'm hearing a _slight_ fade in on your tracks (I think!), but nothing like as noticeable as the fade-ins on the Seeburg "radio." Perhaps the fade in on the disc (assuming there _is_ one there), is just being emphasised by the streaming service? (They use *streema* to broadcast). PS: I just noticed - from your photo of the label! - that the discs were actually manufactured by Decca: fascinating!
I wish I could say, but I have run it by Google song IDer and a panel of users and they don't know either. It might just be a Seeburg in-house production number.
I appreciate you reaching out about using these recordings, and I want to be fully transparent with you about the situation. While I personally support your use of this material and am glad to see it preserved and appreciated, let me explain the specific legal context: These recordings exist in what's called an 'orphan works' status. While technically still under copyright protection, they've passed through a chain of now-defunct companies: from Seeburg Corporation to Stern Electronics (1979), then through Stern's bankruptcy (1985-86), to Mountain Theater Network (until late 1988), which subsequently went bankrupt with no successor company acquiring their assets (that I can find doing online research) Each bankruptcy and dissolution further complicates the chain of title. MTN in the US appears to no longer exist and any online results are from a newer company started in 2005 in the UK. For a copyright claim to be valid today, someone would need to prove a documented chain of title through all these corporate transitions and bankruptcies - an essentially impossible task given that none of these companies exist anymore and their assets weren't maintained by any surviving entity that can be reasonably determined . While I cannot provide formal licensing (as I don't own the rights myself), I can share that these recordings currently trigger no Content ID claims on TH-cam, and the practical risk of any legitimate claim arising is extremely low. This is because no individual or entity could readily establish proper legal standing to enforce rights through this complex chain of dissolved companies. I'm happy to see this material preserved and used respectfully, and I support your project. Just maintain good documentation of the content's origin and its orphan works status for your records- to protect your butt mostly. Please feel free to proceed with your plans while keeping this context in mind.
Can these Seeburg records play on a regular record player with the 16-1/2 setting? The hole in the middle looks rather large. On the other hand, since these records rotate so slowly I can just center it in the middle without support. I just bought 7 of these marvelous records on ebay.
Sadly, unless you have a 4 speed record player and a custom 0.5 mil stylus, regular playing is out of the question. Most of us will play the records at 33 1/3 rpm and record it to a computer (playing it once with a standard stereo 0.7 mil doesn't hurt them too much) then use software (Audacity mostly) slow it down 50% and then listen to the resulting file. I use a combination of the tools in Audacity and a sadly defunct software suite called Denoise and ClickRepair... there are ways to get copies still through somewhat sketchy third parties. The guy who developed it had a website, but then it went "under-constuction" in 2020, and is apparently in a nursing home now. The registration keys are no longer possible to buy. I have my registration copy and latest software installation files backed up on the cloud.
The songs are not royalty free if they are under copyright, the recordings were technically made by I believe by a custom records division of RCA records, they might own the rights since they helped Seeburg record the music... It is a grey area as the original company that commisioned them went out of business in the 1980's. There is an online streaming service out there that has acquired the rights to at least some of the releases.... but I am not sure if that includes the entire Seeburg 1000 catalog. I am not a legal expert by any means, so don't quote me.
I am not finding anything with that exact name doing a Google search, and the top results which were even close have nothing to do with vintage background music or records. Could you explain a bit about what you are referring to?

While I don't control the exact ad placements, I do put a lot of effort into creating these compilations for viewers to enjoy.

The grooves were smaller than micro grooves and for this application, stereo didn't work well, so they kept mono.
I guess also any stereo effect would be lost, because the music would mostly be played through PA systems etc that were mono anyway.

this is so wonderful to listen to and I'd like to thank you for sharing it with so many of us that really enjoy this calming lovely vintage background music! thank you and Happy New Year 🎊🎉🎈!
Glad you appreciate it
18:42 Theme from "The Apartment" (Jack Lemmon/Shirley MacLaine movie)
Great movie!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
the thing is: Before 'the Beatles' 'Muzak' 'Bleach rock' Switched-On this and that etc there was this music like you're hearing; Good music with no rules just right.
Thanks for sharing your insight
At the time 13:23 is "Lida Rose" from The Music Man (1962).
Good catch!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
this music, along with several other seeburg/muzak/easy listening tracks, were used in multiple sorrow tv videos as background music. i feel like very few people get to appreciate it (and i hope he comes back someday, when his mental wellbeing is better)
also the 2nd one's really good! i wonder what the song's called? 2:10
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
I dunno but I luvvvvv et

This disc was used during July 1964. The first song is "Can't We Talk It Over?".
Few famous songs, the rest is copyright free.
@@robfriedrich2822 Why only July?
Because Seeburg sent new discs to their clients every month, as part of their "Mood Music Library" contract. That way, the music piped into those stores, offices, factories, et. al., didn't sound "the same" every day. Most of the tracks were newly recorded; others were "recycled" from previous discs, and several were actually production music cues.
Who are the artists? Uncredited In House Orchestras?
Because Seeburg sent "fresh" discs every month so that subscribers could play them in rotation. Older discs were eventually returned to the company.
REminds me of "The Graduate" soundtrack.
There might be a reason for that...
Whats the reason?@@TheWorldOfBudgetVinylRecords
13:24 - Lida Rose (from The Music Man)
Note: This also appears on several records including Basic 16-A from 12-26-1959 among others.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
@@TheWorldOfBudgetVinylRecords Anytime.
this song is amazing 5:29 - predominately employs 6th notes in its chords and highlights pentatonic and sus notes
"Stompin' at the Savoy".
Wow! Beautiful. Do you know where I can find more of this genre (slow orchestral jazz) that is as good as this? Thanks for the upload!!!
It's featured on other Seeburg discs.....
@@benjaminjohn6830 I think the genre is called Muzak:)
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
I love Seeburg! Thank you for the upload!
Thanks for listening 🎧
This album is excellent !❤❤❤❤
Glad you like it, it has remained a favorite of mine despite hearing hundreds of other s1K sides since transferring it several years ago.
Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching!
This is wonderful
This is my favorite side of Seeburg mood music, so I agree.
Certainly beats chart music of 2020
Indeed
Most definitely!
It seems Seeburg had these custom records made by many different record companies. This one's from the American Decca company, a.k.a. MCA. Then there are ones from RCA, Capitol, and I believe even CBS made some.
You would be right
I like the song at the 31:07 mark.
Kinda reminds me of the George Shearing sound 😁 this whole series of recordings is fantastic
I agree Seeburg 1000 recordings are amazing, which is why I have 1700+ tracks of the stuff on my channel.
In my simple opinion, this 1964 Seeburg Mood album contains the best mood sounds among them all. From the first song to especially the last (Skye boat song.)
I agree completely.
Ahhh, so nice
I fw this heavy
Glad you appreciate it
33:41 is an excellent rendition of Lisbon Antigua!!
Glad you appreciate it
“Attention, shoppers - are you ready for your summer activities?

Love that!
Would like the last one to play while I'm slowly and quietly dying.
It is a viking hymn, so I understand why one would like that.

Sadly none of my volunteer song IDers, Google song IDer, nor myself have been able to find out what the tune name is. There is a fair chance this was a Production music
Chapter 3 seems to be "Stompin' At the Savoy."
Chapter 9 is "Perfidia."

Hello,
This is amazing! Are these copyright free? Are they usable to the public?
At the moment nobody has claimed they have a copyright on these recordings. However, they have the possibility of someone coming forward at anytime. Contact your copyright lawyer for a definitive answer to your question as to the legality of using these recordings. I don't claim to own the copyright, so I cannot grant other people permission to reuse these recordings and distribute them publicly.
2:10 What is the name of the song?
Nobody knows

@@pbble4476 The title is unknown, nobody has identified
@@TheWorldOfBudgetVinylRecordsCan't upload it separately, to use in videos or listen to it?
@@TengoPiedras@TengoPiedras, I split these into individual tracks and posted them a few years back. Just copy and paste the video title, and you should be able to find them. Also, I have an older Patreon post from around the same time I uploaded those individual track videos of my older S1K uploaded content you might find interesting.
what is the song at 33:44? Is it from a movie of that era?
Lisbon Antigua. It was a big hit for Nelson Riddle
Lisbon Antigua
23:31 Soooo somber . That's good ! Closing @ 2 5: 40
Viking funeral boat hymns would have that effect.
Love these tracks. 😀 Do the *records* have a fade in at the start of each track? I'm asking because the 'live' Seeburg 1000 Internet radio channel has a very noticeable fade in of anything up to about 10 seconds on every track, and I'd love to know if that is a) on the disc, b) added by the owners, or c) added by the streaming service. I'm hearing a _slight_ fade in on your tracks (I think!), but nothing like as noticeable as the fade-ins on the Seeburg "radio." Perhaps the fade in on the disc (assuming there _is_ one there), is just being emphasised by the streaming service? (They use *streema* to broadcast).
PS: I just noticed - from your photo of the label! - that the discs were actually manufactured by Decca: fascinating!
Not that I can tell, but sometimes Seeburg engineers would decide fades were a good idea from time to time.
@@TheWorldOfBudgetVinylRecords , Thanks! So the Seeburg Internet 'radio' stream must be _adding_ those fade-ins somewhere along the line.
2:11?
Wish I knew, but nobody knows around here either
23:33 I cover the waterfront
Thanks
@@TheWorldOfBudgetVinylRecords Woody Herman remade this from Blowing Up A Storm (Pickwick / Capitol)
Hi!
Likewise
What is the second track? It is now a matter of family lore. This album puts five kids to sleep.
I wish I could say, but I have run it by Google song IDer and a panel of users and they don't know either. It might just be a Seeburg in-house production number.
Brings to mind Mancini .
10:35 amazing lounge music

12th time on this video! Thank you very much sir. And what song is on 31:06?
I don't know, but what a nice groove! BTW, I see this was intended for the extra slow speed of 16 1/2. Very nice sound for that.
Indeed
How did you get this kind of sound quality off a 16⅔ RPM record?
uhhh, maybe it was in good condition?
A Audio-Technica AT-LP60 and a USB audio interface
Great audio engineering. Sounds excellent!
@@TheWorldOfBudgetVinylRecords Did you mod the LP60 to do 16 or did you play it at 33 then digitally slow it down?
@@TheWorldOfBudgetVinylRecords I have old BSR ceramic cart TT with 16, would that be too hard on a Seeburg record? It tracks at 4g
I like this music, really nice. Can i use this for a video 😁? It's an analog horror 😃🙂!
Sure
@TheWorldOfBudgetVinylRecords thank you! I'll make sure to credit you 😁!
I appreciate you reaching out about using these recordings, and I want to be fully transparent with you about the situation. While I personally support your use of this material and am glad to see it preserved and appreciated, let me explain the specific legal context:
These recordings exist in what's called an 'orphan works' status. While technically still under copyright protection, they've passed through a chain of now-defunct companies: from Seeburg Corporation to Stern Electronics (1979), then through Stern's bankruptcy (1985-86), to Mountain Theater Network (until late 1988), which subsequently went bankrupt with no successor company acquiring their assets (that I can find doing online research) Each bankruptcy and dissolution further complicates the chain of title. MTN in the US appears to no longer exist and any online results are from a newer company started in 2005 in the UK.
For a copyright claim to be valid today, someone would need to prove a documented chain of title through all these corporate transitions and bankruptcies - an essentially impossible task given that none of these companies exist anymore and their assets weren't maintained by any surviving entity that can be reasonably determined .
While I cannot provide formal licensing (as I don't own the rights myself), I can share that these recordings currently trigger no Content ID claims on TH-cam, and the practical risk of any legitimate claim arising is extremely low. This is because no individual or entity could readily establish proper legal standing to enforce rights through this complex chain of dissolved companies.
I'm happy to see this material preserved and used respectfully, and I support your project. Just maintain good documentation of the content's origin and its orphan works status for your records- to protect your butt mostly. Please feel free to proceed with your plans while keeping this context in mind.
If anybody could tell the title of songs/music here, please. Thank you 👍
Take a look at the comments section now
Can these Seeburg records play on a regular record player with the 16-1/2 setting? The hole in the middle looks rather large. On the other hand, since these records rotate so slowly I can just center it in the middle without support. I just bought 7 of these marvelous records on ebay.
Sadly, unless you have a 4 speed record player and a custom 0.5 mil stylus, regular playing is out of the question. Most of us will play the records at 33 1/3 rpm and record it to a computer (playing it once with a standard stereo 0.7 mil doesn't hurt them too much) then use software (Audacity mostly) slow it down 50% and then listen to the resulting file. I use a combination of the tools in Audacity and a sadly defunct software suite called Denoise and ClickRepair... there are ways to get copies still through somewhat sketchy third parties. The guy who developed it had a website, but then it went "under-constuction" in 2020, and is apparently in a nursing home now. The registration keys are no longer possible to buy. I have my registration copy and latest software installation files backed up on the cloud.
Oh, and one either uses a customized adapter or gets really good at centering it by hand (my approach).
If you digitize them, Tunestotube is a simple way of getting MP3 file transfers on TH-cam. Pro-tip.

Glad you enjoyed the music!
The 16 rpm records cost a fortune if you can find them.
Indeed
Are these recordings Royalty Free?
The songs are not royalty free if they are under copyright, the recordings were technically made by I believe by a custom records division of RCA records, they might own the rights since they helped Seeburg record the music... It is a grey area as the original company that commisioned them went out of business in the 1980's. There is an online streaming service out there that has acquired the rights to at least some of the releases.... but I am not sure if that includes the entire Seeburg 1000 catalog. I am not a legal expert by any means, so don't quote me.
20:54 Perfidia.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Is the record cracked broken on the left side?
