The Cab Calloway set is probably my favorite from this series. I took both the original and the rips out for a spin today, kicked the tires, etc., so there shouldn't be any data corruption problems. There is however some surface noise from the original transfers which is out of my control and which shouldn't detract from listening to some great music. Calloway said that his band in the 40s was the sound he always tried to achieve, but I prefer the rawer sound of his earlier bands. This is some great stuff. Enjoy. +

Hi Chester,
Could you please reactivate Cab. I agree with your comments about the early stuff being better than the later - probably because they are closer to jazz and blues than "big band".
Cheers,
Ready to enjoy again.
Thank you very much.
Cheers.
Kickin' the Gong Around-my favorite song about cocaine addiction.
Ready to enjoy again.
It's funny how many songs reference drug use back in the day, and even funnier when you hear lines such as, "kicking the gong around" in movies. How they got past the censor, I don't know.
