Title: Marvelous Compilation Marred only by Weak Bass
Review: I judge, overall, that this single-channel monaural CD transfer has not been seriously falsified in relation to most of the original 78 rpm shellac pressings I have personally audited and transferred to tape; I do suspect that in a few cases, some additional, very low amplitude, digitized ambience has been added in a noncontroversial manner.There is, however, a loss of bass response compared to the first shellac and vinyl issues, and sometimes a rather tiresome upper midrange peak. Listeners with a simple graphic equalizer may, in a few short moments of adjustment, restore proper balances and completely enjoy the recording.
Is the review positive or negative?
