I have a clean mono copy but have never found a clean stereo version. First, you can actually hear tape hiss, which is a GOOD thing, meaning they didn't noise-reduction it to death. Quality sounds very good for an mp3. I hated how the tracks from this album sounded on the "Exotic Moods" comp - they were way too processed. "Tahiti" sounded really pinched on that collection. It sounds wide open on the download and really breathes. I'm planning to buy one more, put the two on a CD, and listen in a couple of different environments before I buy any more. But I'll probably end up buying all seven. Hopefully, they'll add "Jungle Jazz," The Passions" and "Caribbean Moonlight" to the roster. [ Edited by: OnyaBirri 2010-06-27 12:32 ]
