Negative Positive
Title: But what about the recording?
Review: No question that this is a five-star collection of songs from a great band. I was truly disappointed in the quality of the mastering, though, which sounded like the old tapes I used to make by holding a cassette microphone up to our Sears hi-fi (the one with the penny taped to the tone arm). Maybe it matches the quality of the original LP, but I find it almost unlistenable. Surely the later "best of" cleaned up the original masters, making it a better purchase.
Is the review positive or negative?
