Original Notes
Great performance. Sound quality is B+.
There is some hiss and some minor distortion, especially in the electric sets.
The sound seems somewhat compressed.
I know this is widely circulated in various forms, none of which I've heard.
I can't tell you how it compares to the other sources. I suspect that this is a cleaner version.
