[Dixielandjazz] Archeophone & King Oliver Sound - was Bix sound

[Steve Barbone]

You can sample the King Oliver Sound on regular recording and then on
Archeophone. Do not expect miracles as these are still acoustic recordings,
not electric. I suggest you listen to Snake Rag on each site below:

Those of  who us do not hear anything special in Bix's tone, will probably
not hear anything special in King Oliver's tone either. Or Johnny Dodd's
tone, etc. Basically because the original recording technology was primitive
and current re-issues can't get around that. They can only clean it up.

Some may not hear any difference in the two recordings either. <grin>

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
