I haven't read any of the reviews on the box set.
Just how "authentic" was the source material? 50 year old tapes....
Spidey sense says I would be reminded of why I gave up on buying reissues...meh. If I want perfect background music, I play the CD's.
My original mono's aren't perfect.Thankfully, they are very listenable. Very difficult to find them in the bins nowadays, unless you want to fork out the ca$h.
BTB and LIB are my faves. Always played LOUD.
