Burnham Bros Cassette Tapes

Wed, 06/13/2012 - 12:16pm — GZ

While the recordings were probably some of the best, this set of sounds suffers some from the cassette tape medium. The loops are very long and averaged almost 4 minutes. This list of 55 sounds included 8 highly rated rabbits, 2 excellent birds, and a top quality coyote pup, canine pup, and gray fox pup.  Another sound that was both high quality and unusual was "Snarling & Growling Bobcat Sounds." Two more rabbit sounds from CC1 should have also made the top list, but the tape wasn't very good.

"Kansas Cottontail" was the best rated rabbit and top honor also went to the "Meadowlark Cries" sound.

One of only two real fight sequences from this entire catalog will be found in the Burnham Bros tape series, CC90 Coyote Puppies Fighting.
