3.0 out of 5 stars Original, not pristine!, April 28, 2007

This cd has a great selection, but some listeners might not appreciate the mono, and the considerable surface noise on some tracks.

The recordings date from the early 1950s (accounting for the mono), and all seem to be just past the 50 year zone that places them in Public Domain in Europe.

It would be nice to hear the same slection mastered from better sources.

But it's nice to hear the original Quiet Village :)

Les Baxter is a one of a kind musician that comes around once every one hundred years. He was truly one of the masters of the "exotica" sound and a leader in the world of easy listening. A real genius of musical performance.
