Posting in celebration of the 100th anniversary of this recording session. This isn't the most serious of restorations, coming from a noisier V+ copy I used to own and with no manual cleanup work and very little effort, but you get a lot more bass and less in the way of resonances and artifacts than you might have heard before. This is much noisier than what I prefer to share here, but careful listening might lead you to conclude it's one of the more transparent and honest efforts. Unless you have an E+ copy of this it's nearly impossible to make this a clean listen without mulching the music.

Lovely lead, all the way through!
