Buyer Beware! Radio Air Checks....

"Unless you have everything else the Delta Rythm Boys have out on disc, I'd say look (carefully) for studio recordings. I didn't realize I was purchasing radio air checks, which, vary markedly in audio quality and recording level. I was really anticipating this arrival, hearing a few studio recordings on AM radio, having been blown away by their rendition of "Take the A Train".
Still, the Delta Rhythm Boys talent is quite evident here, and they do take harmony to another level, utilizing their voices with instument-like phrasing. Yet I feel duped for I wasn't expecting 5 cuts w/Mildred Bailey, and some of the poorer recordings rob you of the whole DRB experience. I would (and will) seek another DRB disc, but will be a more careful shopper."
