Featured in the What's New section of the February, 2010 EM Cast (Electronic Musician magazine's podcast). You can listen or download the podcast from here. The part about the Memory Collection starts about 26 minutes into the podcast and has an audio example made by Len Sasso. Below are 2 quotes from it.

Memory Collection sample packs
The samples in this collection are taken from Public Domain movies, TV shows and TV ads. I chose the name Memory Collection because by definition works in the Public Domain are from the past, a past often not very distant but sadly also often forgotten or ignored. This collection brings back some of the sounds from the past.
These movies are usually old and the sound quality is often not great and they're noisy too. The samples include voice/spoken word/dialogs, sfx/foley, music and other stuff. Many of them can be further divided so you can have some fum yourself ;-).
Also don't expect that every sample in them will be useful to you. But I am sure they will be fun!
The MC pack 01 is in 2 parts:
- the Free Pack (88 samples, 27.3 MB) and Mini MC1 that can be downloaded from this page (see below)
- the MC Pack 01 (287 samples, 157 MB) that can be purchased with a donation (minimum $3.33 US) below.
For a total of 375 samples ( 184.3 MB)
Note: most of the samples were previously released, but only available for a limited time, in the Halloween and Holidays 2009 Bonus packs. I had some requests to bring them back as a regular pack, so here they are!

The samples in the packs are not mapped in any way, they only contain the wav files. But I made the Mini MC1 with 47 mapped samples (soundfont, sfz, Cakewalk Session Drummer 3, NI Battery 3 and Kontakt 3) to better illustrate the possibilities offered by these samples. The included readme has more details. Please note that it's exactly the same as the Mini Holidays kit that was available in December 2009.
