Ultra Rare Trax, Vol. 4

The Swingin' Pig TSP-CD-026


The sound on this 1989 CD (and all the Ultra Rare Trax series) is excellent, especially when compared to the LPs that preceeded it. Before this series, folks had to be content with multigenerational tapes inexpertly transferred to vinyl. Not so anymore. The running time on this disc (and each in the series) is pretty short by today's standards, however.  Though these discs have sentimental value to me, better buys are found in Yellow Dog's Studio 2 Sessions series.
