Just over 50 years ago, I dedicated an entire day to capturing radio communications, along with radio and TV broadcasts, using my dad's reel-to-reel recorder. This happened to be a significant day in Portugal's history. Unfortunately, I lost what was perhaps the most intriguing tape over the years. The two remaining tapes were in poor condition, and I wasn't sure if anything could be salvaged. Nonetheless, I decided to give it a shot.
To my astonishment and delight, the recordings were of remarkable quality and completeness. They vividly brought back memories of everything I witnessed that day as a teenager long ago. Despite the tapes being in a sorry state, the recordings faithfully captured the events as they unfolded, adhering to the original timing and sequence. I'm incredibly pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend attempting similar retrievals.

Recently, I used their services for the first time. After my parents passed away, I discovered an old VCR recording of my dad from his youth. It had been at least 15, maybe 20 years since I last owned a VCR player. They assured me they could transfer it onto a disk and provide a link for downloading, but I was skeptical. However, they delivered on every promise they made. The quality was excellent, and I could not be more pleased. I highly recommend them; they were polite, professional, and trustworthy. I'm certain they offer more services than I even needed, and they exceeded my expectations in every way.

I can personally recommend Oxford Duplication Centre, run by Cheryl-Lee Foulsham. They always set a superb standard for all of the work they do. I have used ODC many times to create CD digipacks for albums released by my record label Good Companions Records, and also for enhancement of videos of live concerts. Cheryl has always provided an absolutely top quality service and results, delivered exactly on time.
Cheryl and her highly skilled and friendly staff have also always been
extremely helpful and informative, and are always willing to do whatever is
necessary to deliver the highest quality service and product.
I can honestly say that I would not consider using any other Duplication
or Media company, the quality that Cheryl and her staff produce cannot be
beaten, and is always extremely good value for money. This is exactly the
quality of service that I look for in a business, but which is so rarely found.

I'm a part of a local band and we decided *pretty last minute* that we wanted some CD's for a major gig we landed. I called in and Ali made me feel right at home. She helped me answer SO many questions and helped make the process very smooth. We had to add random sketches at the last minute and everyone at ODS were super accommodating and were able to get a beautiful product (50 of them to be exact) in our hands with plenty of time to spare!
Would definitely recommend to anyone needing to have some duplication work done as all of the team were amazing and friendly to work with! We will also definitely be going back! Competitive pricing with the best customer service, hands down! Rock On Oxford Duplication!
