- To be REALLY honest, the early MOI play way the fuck better than anybody else

- hits or gold records...

- If the 30's recording was a significant performance, I'd listen to it. It
- could be the only surviving recording of a particular work by a certain
- artist, conductor, or orchestra. A good performance is a good performance.

- But, ultimately, the performance is THE most important thing. CD's and DAT
- make the music sound aesthetically 'better' but I still listen to my LPs and
- cassettes, too. I listen to the music.
