as far as recording quality. Sounds like 20 year old CDs, not much is re-mastered and I have RCA Vinyl from that era that sounds much better.
At least that's what I hear streaming it at 16/44.1 from QOBUZ which is usually a very good marker of recording quality.

The SFS recordings were never very good, even for the era. I remember reading that the audio on many of the early recording sessions was relayed by RCA via telephone lines to a tape recorder in a studio in Los Angeles! Still, I love sets like this, especially with the original LP cover art; this will replace my older RCA Monteux box from 20 years ago.

With VERY few exceptions, I'm a fetishist myself when it comes to original cover art. In fact, that's one of the reasons I'm re-buying (yet again!) the Reiner/Chicago performances re-issued (yet again!) on SACD - this time by Analogue Productions. They've reproduced those original covers even more faithfully than the previous series of Living Stereo SACD's (done by Soundmirror) - even down to the "Miracle Surface" verbiage. I love it!
