wow, that's embarrassing... what an awful cover... especially considering those classic groups were all made up of secular Jews in Europe and New York, not hasidim in Israel... all right sorry for that...

Yakov set me straight, ignore the Past Perfect thread I just created.

The local Half Price Books has just brought in stacks of Past Perfect CDs. Any recomendations, I see that several DJs had bought some of them over the past month.

Any good reviews, lame CDs to avoid, sound quality issues, etc... I want to pick some up, but I figured I would get some reviews first. Especially from Kalman, since he bought 14 of them.

They got so many CDs in, that the store even had to push a lot of their older jazz CDs to the bargain bin. A Glen Gray Hindsight CD I had been eyeing got bumped down to $3, good thing I procrastinated.

By the way, some of the Half Price book locations in Austin have been helpful with the occasional treasure, others are lame.

Found a bunch of Past Perfect CDs at a big flea market here in Rome. She wouldn't let me listen to the 3 I narrowed it down to, and they were $6.67 apiece, so I decided not to get them. I'll break my $5 rule if I can hear the CD myself, but that was a little too much for a flea market. She wouldn't bargain at all.

The sound quality is fair enough, given that the CDs I selected were all recorded in low-fi.

Kalman

The sound quality on Basie's Jive at Five cd is not at all good. I have found other imports with the same versions of songs that have been remastered much more successfully. I am not that picky when it comes to sound quality, but these are muffled.
