VINTAGE MUSIC VOL 1 & 2 (MCA MCAD 5777)

This is a very early CD collection of 1950s “oldies” first issued in 1986. Original master tapes from a variety of labels under MCA’s control (ABC Paramount, Chess, Brunswick, Coral, etc) were re-mastered for this compilation by engineering wizard Steve Hoffman, who’d soon be working for DCC making gold audiophile CD reissues of classic albums. The sound quality is very good here. All the tracks are in original mono.
