The Encyclopedia of Jazz, Part 3/5: Big Bands - The Giants of the Swing Big Band Era

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

CD 74 appears to have been badly processed -- the left channel looks as if it had been normalized to point of severe clipping, while the right channel looks 'normal'. The audio fingerprint attached is that of the right channel only, and as all CD's are in mono (or at least supposed to be in mono), this probably works.

FIXME: Has this been available only as part of the 500-CD set? (Ignore re-sellers! It's out of print, apparently.)
