great music -- terrible fidelity

Do you remember those old "electronically re-channelled for stereo effect" LPs? They were made by taking original mono recordings and taking all the treble off one channel and all the bass out of the other channel and throwing in some electronic reverb for additional irritation. About half of the songs on this cd used THOSE awful versions instead of the original mono recordings.

BMG, if you are going to release a $30+ two cd set please do a vault search for the original tapes.

Yes, the songs on this cd are excellent, and Como is in fine voice on most of these recordings, but take my advice and save yourself some money. Trying to listen to this set will hurt your ears, give you a headache, and make you angry that BMG doesn't care about your satisfaction, nor do they have any respect for the legacy of Mr. Como.

I could make a better sounding cd from my Como record collection.
