Sounds a bit better, but not much, on the original Telarc CD.

Nice, hadn't listened to the 5th in a while, but always a musical
treat. It's also a reminder of how YouTube has become a massive
personal jukebox of sorts, and almost totally eliminated the need for
maintaing a big private music collection. I must have close to a
thousand CDs that haven't been listened to in years. Should I try to
sell them, along with my many hundreds of vinyl LPs that haven't been
out of the packing boxes for over 25 years? Is there a market for
that sort of thing? Right now they are going to waste, and I doubt if
my kids would want them. The grand children wouldn't even know what
they were.

Great questlion! Just this morning I was wondering what to do with my CDs. I've got all the early
Telarc CDs, before they got carried away with junk. Not as many as you've got, though. I gave a
hundred or so to my daughters a couple years back.

That's a funny coincidence.

I'll probably donate mine to Purple Heart. On Ebay, the Telarc classicals are going for $3-9. Not
worth the hassle. If I had a large vinyl collection I might try putting them on Ebay, by genre, as a
collection. But a couple hundred bucks may not be worth the hassle either!

Ebay is really not that much of a hassle but I know what you mean. I
ended up giving away hundreds of albums a few years ago and I am sure
they ended up on Ebay or at a flea market. For some people, two bucks
is two bucks. I just did not know which ones might end up being $20 or
more. I put them on craigs list for free and a young couple scooped
them up, oooing and aahing over a few. They seemed most excited over
albums from people I never heard of.
