We have to accept how an older generation was able to make recordings.The equipment of the day did not have high signal to noise ratios.Even at 30 ips tape sapeeds.We don't have the luxury of re-recording it,even if the musicians were around.
I also have Blues in Orbit and Miles Davis Kind of Blue.Hiss is part of the charm we just will have to live with, in order to hear an historical performance.Vinyl has it's intruding on the sound,noises.
Now on to modern day Hi-Rez, engineers are now capable of dead quiet passages.Our listening environments are the better for it. There's no turning back!!!
