Review: Great collection! - I was familiar with most of these songs but got introduced to some more. They had the sound cleaned up so I could make out all the words. If you love "flapper" music, you'll love this! Review: Dig deep. You with hits gold - Check these tunes from the 20s. Now I'm far actually being there but I fell in love with this music. My taste lies in prog or prog metal. I watched a film that highlighted this music. So I jumped desertcart And found it ordered it. Now your talking about 100 plus years ago.But it's remastering was a tuff piece to begin with. I played it through my eq with good results. Take a step back friends this very remarkable tunes.have a great time with it ...........enjoy. Donnie P (g)

Will get you moving to the music!
Love this music and the unbelievably talented musicians and singers. Will get you moving to the music! The old song writers were so much more imaginative, intelligent, funny, and positive than writers of today. People knew how to have emotion that is decent and fun. Chuck the brooding and depressing portfolios of today and try Past Perfect's offerings for a lift to your spirit!

Broken case—what else is new?
The cd is as described and the package arrived when promised. The only problem is that the cd case was broken. It seems to be a sure thing when ordering cds online, but I would think someone would figure out how to ship cds without damage by now.
