This review is from: The Best of Lin/Kliff Records: Rockabilly (Audio CD)

After years of ordering finely remastered vintage rock and R&B reissues from labels like Ace UK, Boulevard Vintage, Bear Family, and Collectables, I was hugely disappointed to find that this Collectables compilation was filled with scratchy, distorted tracks barely worthy of the label's usual reputation. Many cuts sound like a needle was dropped on a worn 45 rpm disk just seconds before the tune begins. There appears to have been no effort to digitally remaster these with high grade audio restoration software. Imagine my surprise when I found many of these same tracks with much better sound quality on a collection called "Golden Anniversary - Collector's Edition - Lin, Kliff, Big L - 1954-2004" on the Big L label. I've promptly ordered it. Bear Family Records has a more extensive 4 CD set titled "The Lin / Kliff Story," but you, like me, may not want to shell out the nearly $100.00 it routinely costs.
