Again kudos to MCA CD releases from the early days. A simple disclaimer regarding the tape hiss and potential anomalies inherent in the earlier recording processes and transfer away. Brilliant, honest and respectful. Needless to say this is a fantastic transfer, but the music really is trapped by it's own pseudo intellectualism.
