Mind-Blowing 73-Year-Old Recording
5 out of 5 stars

Amazing recording and mastering job! I've had louder pressings of QRP in the past, but that's just me being picky. It's truly mind-blowing when you think about the recording being 73 years old, and it sounds like the band is performing live in my living room! I've been waiting forever for a proper reissue of this album, and now it's finally here. Just relax and enjoy!
