As Chris points out in his post below the recording engineers took a different approach to recording the performances. The music is more forward, i.e. in your face, than in most other label's recordings. The net result is that it can be more exciting on initial exposure, especially for folks who care more about 'audio' than performance. Some of the performances are excellent for sure.
There really is no down side to getting this set. It is cheap and even if you graduate from it and go on to getting different performances and more relaxed recording styles you can still haul out these records on occasions and thoroughly enjoy them. I do. From what you have said, it is possible that they may be all you ever need. :-)
