Query: Rare Recordings Trashed by Horrendous Distortion

Every previous CD from The Old Masters has featured excellent restoration work; tragically, this CD features scraping highs, thin bass, and gross distortion on all but several tracks--distortion that is NOT present on the original records (or any early-thirties Victor records), as anyone lucky enough to own a few of the original 78's can attest. One can only hope that before the projected three further volumes of Gene Kardos are issued, that this first volume will be withdrawn and redone.
