Good CD; LP is better.,

This review is from: Savoy Jam Party (Audio CD)
These recordings are from around 1946, before tape became the norm. They were recorded live directly onto wax discs, transferred to a metal master and then pressed into 78-rpm discs. So the 78s (in case the metal masters are lost) ARE the actual masters.When you hear pop and crackle on such recordings, it's usually a sign that the label is doing something right by not sucking out all of the life out of the recording by trying to reduce surface noise, which is still not possible today without harming the music. Technicalities aside, this disc is wonderful. But if you get a chance, grad the LP version instead, since it has more tracks and the liner notes are at a size where you can actually read them.

This review is from: Savoy Jam Party (Audio CD)
It is apparent from the samples that the songs were taken either from 78's or a copy of the original savoy Lp or both and not from masters. It sounds worse than my LP at home. What a SHAME because the music is great.
