Unfiltered is a series of issues on this channel that seek to present original recordings from the early stereo period without filtering or alteration of any kind. Often these recordings have been re-mixed for modern issue by the major labels to the detriment of their original sound. The present recording is taken from 20th Century digital transfers made with minimal processing, and fully optimized at 24-bit for issue on YouTube. This allows modern listeners to hear these great recordings, as closely as possible, to what they originally sounded like when issued. NOTE: All recordings from this period have tape hiss.
