This song is actually quite catchy. And it would have been quite popular even today with this baritone.

    Just for fun, I tried a test in one such service below. I chose the ‘keep vocals and music, stripping out noise/etc’ option. It seems to have greatly improved the vocals, while sadly losing the music. See what you think:

    EDIT: (see alt DL link in comment below)

    NOTE: that’s without fiddling with any settings, which likely would have produced a better result.

    So, far as I can tell, most online services of this type seem to be paid, if that works for you. And yeah-- in previous examples of excellent preservation results, I did get the sense that most were ‘DIY,’ with all the custom hardware & software that entailed.

    Or at least, they hired human restorers or mixing engineers to do the work. So yeah… it seems that in order to get a quality result, at least some money needs to change hands.
