Hi, James:

I could indeed re-master this recording and re-eq the entire thing.

I was just surprised by the quality of the sound.

I wonder if the actual master tape still exists?

Incidentally, the title tune was released as a 45 around the early sixties and it was actually a very popular item then.

  I said that only because I have an LP of some very early Nat King Cole Trio performances from radio broadcasts and the recording quality is pretty bad. The techniques of mic placement needed to make great recordings just was not up to par. I know this as the spoken word part of the presentations is very clear and full bodied.
  
  It is too bad as the performances from the Torcodero Club (CA) are very interesting. Even if they had some old Shure Unidynes put in the right places it would have been better than this. It is hard to fix now.
