If you&#39;re into listening to &quot;vintage&quot; jazz music, that&#39;s par for the course but the poor sound quality does not detract from listening to <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SidneyBechet" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SidneyBechet</span></a> play a soulful version of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Summertime" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Summertime</span></a> on the B-side of the LP.</p><p>I could have bought a copy off of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Discogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Discogs</span></a> but part of the fun of collecting LPs is going <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BinDiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BinDiving</span></a> &amp; I consider this a great <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LP</span></a> find!</p><p>However, I am now thinking about buying the a Japanese re-issue of the original album for comparison.</p>
