gimme a break..... i would give my right-arm to have all the musicians that played on Blues In Orbit at that moment in time be recorded in pure DSD... it would have been outrageously incredible... however, this SACD, IMHO, get's me as close to being there as i could under the circumstances.. These are one-of-a-kind recordings of some great performances...kinda like the labum that started the bossa-nova craze in the US...eeeking-out the best audio from very old recordings is good enough for me!If this recording would have been made now, it would have been the basis for capital punishment for the engineer(s)....BUT IT WAS NOT MADE TODAY!!!
