How to get clean images of those "blurry" Cash Box and Billboard scans on archive.org...
I'm not trying to look smarter than anyone here, and this is probably known already... but if you put the magazine in "one-page-view" and zoom the page to its maximum and open it in a new tab ... you will get a clean, high resolution scan of the page without all that blurriness... --Asagoth (talk) 19:40, 4 November 2020 (EST)
Shinichiro"Slim" Ogasawara and his jukebox novelty single ...
This is not new... but if you guys are curious to know how it sounds... you can listening to it here...--Asagoth (talk) 21:26, 10 November 2020 (EST)
Victory Ships...
So accordind to "La Grande Observer" envelopes with a colored photo of the "SS La Grande Victory" were being sold on ebay in 2012 ... in fact a seller dubbed "navycovers" sells lots of these fancy envelopes but all of them use the same photo because all these ships looked the same... I checked all the items that he has for sale... but the envelope of "SS La Grande Victory is nowhere to be found... so We shall have to make do with just a "standard" photo... Honestly... fu$?&!?k the photo (I'm more interested in the facts featured in the envelope...) ... "Retro" has the right of being awesome... so we want one of those... let´s hope...--Asagoth (talk) 14:43, 19 February 2021 (EST)
California Oil World (Magazine)
archive.org has a good amount of scans of this old magazine (the first 51 volumes... that's a lot of magazines)... but not this one (Volume 61 from 1968)... this was a weekly magazine... so there's many issues of this magazine per volume... we may find a scan... or not... it's a matter of luck...--Asagoth (talk) 18:52, 8 August 2021 (EDT)
