Title: Great music ruined by poor production values
Review: I have to agree with a previous reviewer regarding the vocal quality on this CD...it's abysmal. The harmonies on the original albums don't get a chance to shine with the muddied vocals on this CD. I'm glad to have a CD version of these two albums, as mine are pretty scratchy, but i'll still play the vinyl when i really want to hear the Talbots at their best. If you somehow have the albums in good shape after all these years, don't buy the CD...you'll probably be disappointed at the sound quality. But the CD is definitely worth having if you don't have the albums. Mason Proffit was one of the best concert bands of the early seventies, especially in small venues like the basement of River City in Iowa City in 1972. If you never heard them, and you want to hear some "down-home" music from that era, you can't go wrong with these guys.
Is the review positive or negative?
