1.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculously over-filtered sound!

The trouble is, a lot of the freshness of the music is in the same range as the "noise", and if too much is removed, the songs sound dull and lifeless. This entire CD is very difficult for me to listen to for that reason. I have scratchy 78s of many of these, and even with the scratch, they sound SOOOOO much better than this early attempt at digital restoration. Sorry, my copy will be on ebay next week.
