About Us

Here at Precious Voices we rescue the sounds of the past, preserving them for generations to come.

Tape recordings were never meant to last. Tapes can become stretched, broken or damaged by magnetic fields and over time tapes can finish up unplayable. Precious memories are lost forever.

We specialise in transferring your precious memories, whether the voices of your children when young, long departed relatives or rare musical recordings onto audio compact discs.

Precious Voices also offers sound retrieval services to businesses, museums, sound archives and audiobook publishers etc.

Heyday Magazine Cover

Precious Voices saves the day.

"For a journalist up against a deadline, it’s a terrifying moment when you realise an interview is trapped on a broken tape with no way of getting at the precious words!

Finding Precious Voices saved me much embarrassment – and time. And receiving an MP3 of the recording made it a very speedy solution too. "

Overseas Customers

Precious Voices gets many hits on our website from around the World. Because proper audio restorers are few and far between in the World, we are happy to help overseas customers and regularly accept work from across the globe. We ask for payment in advance in sterling from our overseas customers and we recommend International Special Delivery as the cheapest and most secure method of sending us your material. Some customers prefer to use Fedex or a similar courier.

Sending material in the post is always a risk and we can help make the process safer by giving advice on packing precious items. We can also return your restored material to you in a digital form (MP3 audio files) before we post or courier your CD's and original tapes. That way we minimise the risk to your material. It is however impossible for us to obtain insurance for what we do, even from Lloyds of London, because what we handle is often of no monetary value but of enormous emotional worth.

If you think we may be of assistance to you then please email us at info@preciousvoices.co.uk and we will guide you from there. We pride ourselves in our customer service.
