Dont buy this CD

"This Dave Brubeck Quartet CD "The 1965 Canadian Concert" is terrible.
Its MONO,not stereo.
There is very loud 'hissing" tape sound on the entire CD.
It was recorded using only one microphone!
It sounds like it was recorded by an audience member.
The "bonus materials" (KQED TV program from Janurary 14,1962) on track numbers 9,10,11,12 have a better sound quality than the other tracks,but are also recorded MONO and have a loud tape hissing sound throughout.
This terrible CD is useful for only reference,and not possible to listen and enjoy.
I am seeking a refund.
Amazon failed to mention any of this in the product description.

"I avoided this per initial reviewer above. Finally, I decoded to take a chance. I was delighted to find NO background noises. Rather, a fine and perfectly recorded concert - plus extras. I'm so glad I was able to add another Original Dave Brubeck Quartet recording to my collection! The concert was recorded by a Radio station but sounds no different than a record company version."
A great one
