CD Reviews

Charly should be ashamed of this

Smiley | 02/16/2006

(1 out of 5 stars)

"I'm no sound queen but the fidelity of this compliation is atrocious: vinyl crackle, cymbal rides that sound like tape hiss, compression problems, fuzzy at low volume, distorted at high volume, etc., etc. I've listened to lots of music on lots of formats and there are some fidelity issues on here I can't even identify. Not only would I avoid this release, I would avoid ALL of the Charly black box three CD compilations. Moreover, the liner notes are worthless, with no reference to source, year, musicians, etc."

The Other Guys Are Right

"I bought this boxed set and the two above reviews are right about the poor sound quality. It's every bit as bad as they say."
