One thing i can still enjoy a crummy recording of a great performance.
I especially love the old Jazz on Properbox sets. They are mostly 78 transcriptions put on Cd for an artists work, some monaural LPs.. usually from the 30's to the 50's, four discs 70+ minutes each. Fantastic value for the $16 bucks most of the sets cost.
I own over FORTY of the Properbox Jazz box set titles.
Most have decent sound, considering they come from 78s.
When a recording has a fabulous sound besides a good performance, that is nice. But a poor recording of a great performance does not bother me in the least, if that is all there is.
