Of course there are many excellent older recordings but the duff ones
are the ones you remember....


That isn't really so in my case. I tend to remember the good recordings and
performances. Perhaps because I re-listen to them and get to know them, but
discard lousy recordings.

However I do tend to recall the tendency of some companies to sell
recordings with factory faults, etc. So have strong memories of EMI LPs and
the levels of added rice crispie effects.

Slainte,
