Anchors Aweigh

An instrumental version of Anchors Aweigh, the song of the United States Navy. Music by Charles A. Zimmerman, with lyrics (not sung here) by Alfred Hart Miles.

This nomination is dedicated to Durova. By the way, this'll be my last nomination for a bit. Just felt productive today. I regenerated this from the original wav to deal with what I believe was badly-handled normalisation in the file we had, which, to my surprise, restored 30 seconds of music which, for some reason, the original uploader cut. God knows why. I also added a 6/10ths of a second fade out after the music stops to deal with some crackling after the last note ends, but before the echoes have died away. Since the start of the fadeout is after everyone has stopped playing, I didn't think it necessary to bother uploading a version without that. If anyone really wants it, I will, though.

Support - no problems heard here. Great recording and a nice fade-out; it seems fine to me. —Ed (talk • contribs) 04:44, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
