Great compilation of music, but it is not all "Roaring", so don't be misled. I personally like the fact that it is not all "Roaring"...it has the perfect balance of Roaring and Romance that was then. Being in my thirties I found it a relief from todays music...it is starting to, who am I kidding, it does all sound the same. Hardley any talent, computer generated instruments, sounds, and vocal enhancements. So if you are tired of all this, then I suggest you purchase this CD set, listened to a whole disk completely, then be the judge. Beloit, Wisconsin, USA
When buying material that was recorded decades ago, there is always a wonder just how it will sound, has it been compressed, is it too "digital". I was very suprised that this package sounds really good on my hi fi. I would never expect 21st century quality, after all, these tracks were originally recorded 60 or 70 years ago, but the clarity is very good, no clicks or crackles, the levelling is sensible, and every track is a gem. This was a great purchase and more than a basic introduction to this genre. And, it should be mentioned, all original artists and original recordings - which is extremely important.

I bought the Roaring 20's CDs because I was looking for true to type music from those times. The artists and tunes were exactly what I wanted. Tunes of the 20's by Bands of the 20's with the sound of the era. Great. Exactly what I was looking for,
Over the course of my research of 20's music, I've encountered many poor recordings, but the tracks in this collection sound awesome! It's a nice collection of early jazz, ragtime, dixie and dreamy, dusty ballads. All the heavy hitters of the time are here: Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, Al Jolson, Isham Jones, Frank Crumit, etc. I love it :)
A Great insight into music of the 1920s made more enjoyable by the Excellent quality of the transfers considering they were recorded 90 plus years ago !! Recommended !!
