I recently bought some old pickett and the sound quality was good on all but this disc. I have the Man and a Half collection and the three original albums: The Sound of..., Wicked Pickett, and The Exciting... Everything sounds good except for this disaster. It is a terrible recording. The comparison in quality between this and the same songs on the anthology is huge. The other originals have very good sound quality, but this one is terrible. There is another verison of this disc by Collectables that I am tempted to try, but I regret buying this one because of the sound. Great Pickett, bad sound. I got this at ImportCDs so beware what they are selling.
