One thing I always do with 78's is master them at 33RPM and speed them up on the computer... they usually sound a lot better, especially with louder recordings... less "hair" on the loud parts. although the EQ can be changed a little and you have to make sure you system doesn't have a low frequency roll off, as the bass characteristics will be in the subsonic range... the masters for these old recordings are usually missing, 2nd generation, or degraded... so a lot of times 78s are better.
just go to archive dot org and search for the title and or name, I have about three uploaded... one I mastered with a smaller stylus, one with a 78 stylus... for different results. There are some slight distortion artifacts in the high end, but I would rather hear that than no high end at all, as in most of the Cd's versions. his early sun stuff always sounds rather muffled... hope I can work on one of those some day! peace
I'm going to remaster my 78 version of this tonight and upload it on archives dot org. it's mint and on Ebay now, so it should sound a little better than this one.
