A new low in re-release sound quality

"CDs on this label are frequently just rehashes of much older material. The various tracks here date from the early 50's to the late 60's, and the sound quality is the worst I have ever heard. In fact, I can't figure out how they made it sound so bad. I have the original vinyls of most of these tracks, and there is absolutely no comparison. Perhaps they put a microphone up to the speaker of an old radio-phonograph, or maybe they transmitted it over a low-speed dial-up internet connection. Stay away! This thing shouldn't even be on the market, and the engineers who manufactured it ought to be put into the stockade at once."
