The re-mastering stinks

"Don't know if the release being offered here is different (the track order on my CD is different and includes 11 tracks total) from mine but it's also on the Collector's Choice Music label and the distortion is terrible. In the CD booklet they state "The sound heard on the V DISC is the unaltered recording of 78 RPM masters...Even with the most advanced technology, occasional imperfections will be noted by the listener. These imperfections remain as a result of the producer's conviction that historical reissues must strive to duplicate the sound of the original recordings made during this period." What a load of crap. This is one of the worst V disc remastering jobs I've ever heard."

Great historical recordings...

"Teagarden's great V-discs, and some great Teagarden crooning and playing. The sound quality is not tampered with(thankfully) the producer of this CD didn't use any phony "stereo" or awful "Cedar" to remaster these, he put them on CD directly from the 78's, now that is the way they are supposed to sound, and the sound is remarkably wonderful, and historicly these are some great sides. Classic jazz fans are advised to pick this up."

Classic

"I appreciate the warmth and the scratchy sound of the straight from vinyl production, it puts you back into that time period again. Classic, a must have for jazz lovers!"
