I was actually surprised at how good some of those recordings can sound. Especially considering that they're recorded on steel with no bias. It ain't HiFi, but it can be fairly enjoyable to listen to. My favorite thing is listening to unidentified recordings which probably haven't been played in over half a century and trying to imagine what was going on. It's like a time machine. "Normal" people are always as amazed when I fire one of those up as when I run a sixty year old TV for them!
