The songs are great, but the sound quality on half of the cuts is very edgy and hard to listen to. It seems that no effort was made to process the originals. A disclosure is printed on the back of the disc referring to this. So if you are fussy about sound you may be disappointed. I recently purchased Hit Parade 1946 (a different series) released in 2007 and it has the word, 'Dynamic' printed on the disc and it is a much smoother sound. I hope that this information is helpful to you.
