1.0 out of 5 stars
Buy for its historical value ONLY, August 31, 2001
This review is from: Scott Joplin & The Kings of Ragtime (Audio CD)
The audio quality on this CD is abysmal. Either in an effort at authenticity or out of laziness or penny-pinching, they did not clean up the audio at all. The fact that the CD comes without any documentation whatsoever would make me guess the latter. There are volume swings, lots of hiss, and low signal-to-noise ratio throughout, especially on the second CD. The player piano used for Joplin's rolls on the first CD sounds like it is the same vintage as the rolls themselves, in other words, lousy. Don't buy this CD unless you are historically interested in the source material.
