Bad recording quality

"Not sure if this disk delivers anything such albums as noisette or backwards don't from the standpoint of music, but the recording quality is pretty bad by my standards.
I read that the voiceprint soft machine recordings are pretty crabby, so I always steered clear from them. However, I also read somewhere that this one is better than most, so I decided to give it a chance.
I couldn't really sit thru the whole thing...and just to let the reader understand where I am coming from - I do have realistic expectations from never before released live archives from 30-something years ago. For example "live in paris" , while mono and not top notch quality, is quite enjoyable in my opinion.
Had I known what I was getting, I would never have paid $23 for this CD. Noisette is much better and it is cheaper as well. To say even more, for some reason voiceprint cd's tend to generally be more expensive than those from cuneiform. I wonder why.
That said, I certainly recommend this disk to those who are desperate to hear a different variation of noisette."
Sounds very good to my ears...

"This must have been an amazing concert, and the sound is really very good for what I believe was an amateur recording. You may not want this if you are an audiophile and insist on studio sound quality, but for anyone else it should prove very enjoyable.
Highly recommended to all SM fans, not merely completists!"
