Datahits Rewound is
a 2023 remake of a 1980s music cassette containing remixes of the
themes from five popular Commodore 64 games, made in the interests of
preservation, documentation and nostalgia. Although a digital version of
this tape can be found online, the only available source was the retail
compact cassette and despite remastering efforts, the quality of any
recordings is poor. The aim of this project was to reproduce each track
as closely to the original as possible, with the highest quality audio
possible. The project leverages the SID Effects library, which provides very high quality recordings from real SID chips in stereo. Mixing, production and cover art by Dan Tootill.
