[Dixielandjazz] Wow.

Me, too.  I guess I was also thrown by how lousy some of the LOC discs are.
I mean -- "Goodnight, Irene" sounding THAT bad?  Sheesh!  I could do better
in under three days at eBay, and with an original disc!,

  True my good father, but the fact that it can recover info from broken
pieces and accept skips , the mechanics of cleaning the record, or a
duplication may not produce sound equivalent of the original, but then again
the fact that certain recordings that have been abused, broken and treated
not too gently are potential to be recovered if only for content, rather
than becoming just trash.

  I had several early 78's that were cracked and it was impossible to listen
to them only if you weighted the tone arm to avoid the jumping the tracks.
Of course it didn't work all the time and the record was disposed.Secondly
the wear from the extra weight wasn't good for the groove..

  All in all a certain amount of progress in recovering  information, data,
music from supposedly  lost sources is a good sign.

  And to that , I will toast the makers of "IRENE".

    Yeah, it's a Wow, but now that I've listened to the show, I'm only
    moderately impressed. Sure, it plays what it "photocopies", but will
what
    it produces survive the necessary cleaning process to make it sound as
good
    as if it were played with a needle Davies-style?

    I believe that WOW is an understatement.
    Now I wished I kept all those 78's that broke and found the trash can.
It
    will truly work on warped records, that seem to bounce all over the
    turntable
