A great many songs, many great, in lo-fi

"Well, the plus side -- there are a lot of songs here, many of them great, some of them gems I've never seen anywhere else. On the minus side, in most cases the sound is sub-par. Sounds like a bootleg for the most part. Didn't the owner of this record label "allegedly" fall afoul of gangsters? Maybe instead of breaking his legs they messed up his tapes. In a way it's a tease to hear a good song in a muffled or even distorted version, but then again, how about to have never heard them at all. At the right price, consider it as a sampler and maybe you'll find some favorites to look for in a better source. If it's any consolation the jazz cuts do sound better than the rock ones."

90 tracks (how many do you remember ?)

"The best thing about hearing label collections such as this is in the discovery of tracks one had not been previously exposed to. A lot of material to digest , especially for those unfamiliar with the label's releases , but what an enjoyable time you will have ! Quantity AND Quality at 33 pennies a track!"
