Although the sound as recorded is of very good quality, my copies of these records are unfortunately in very poor condition. In common with many French records in my collection, they are fractured, warped and crazed. This led to many bumps and clicks throughout which I have done my best to ameliorate, though there is frequent dropout in the sound.
