  2. This was my first encounter with this music, 20 years ago, broadcasted by a passionate music amateur from Réunion island. So I cant try to be be "critical". Susskind seems to catch the just spirit though. Marvellous and moving. Thank you

  5. Vivid sound...but the surfaces are more like a 78..so you've just won the crackly prize for the 'noisiest' LP transfers!
