This is a fun little collection. Sure, the recordings are pretty rudimentary, and my copy has a bit of crackle to it, but this thing is an absolute time capsule! The recording is good enough that you can feel the texture of instruments played almost a century ago, and (used) for next to nothing. I paid almost $10, but know better now, and have seen this for as low as $3. No regret though: it’s worth it.
