Search - Various Artists, Eddie Cantor, Fanny Brice :: Great Entertainers

No-fi

Annie Van Auken | Planet Earth | 06/06/2010

(2 out of 5 stars)

"The DIRECT SOURCE 12-track CD of THE GREAT ENTERTAINERS has no liner notes beyond a song list with times and recording dates. After heavy filtering, high-end fidelity is poor to fair at best.



Disappointing.
