Customer Reviews
Inferior quality
I own the MPC 2-disk LP release from mid 70's and expected this to be of the same quality. IT IS NOT!!! This is a Polka City release. and is of very inferior quality. Infact only 1 cut-the Julida Polka is similar to the MPC quality.
Atrocious sound quality
Why do re-releases by "Whoopee" John Wilfahrt sound so BAD? This one is truly atrocious. It sounds as though a microphone was placed near the speaker of a 1930's console radio-phonograph playing a 78-rpm record. This is really a pity, because "Whoopee" John had some really nice recordings, mostly on 45 rpm singles, on the Decca label in the late 50s and early 60s. These are the ones that should be re-released! But please be careful, remakers! Center your records carefully on your turntables so as not to introduce wow and flutter into the CD versions.
