I strongly suspect that Proper sets are really Chrono Classics collections with the lame ballads removed, loads of noise reduction added, new artwork and better liner notes.

Welcome in the "Proper Sucks" club!

I think that's only version taken from master tapes out there at the moment?

Wow - you got it Ari

. I've just got this CD and you're right - the difference in sound quality is amazing. That's what I was looking for - and it shows the importance of good source material and mastering. All three of the 'Jiving Jamboree' CDs have nice collections of 50s tracks with good sound quality.
