not all the material is actually out of copyright, a lot of that stuff is essentially bootlegged. but i'm not complaining.
jsp has better sound quality than proper, all told. and jsp tends to release "complete" collections and proper releases more survey-style stuff. although that's changing in the former case. jsp just released a hawaiian music box set, i need to pick that up.
jsp does four-cd boxes too! in fact most of their boxes are 4 cds. but yeah some of them are 5.
the jsp bluegrass box is great. the proper one is ok but has the most atrocious graphic design ever. proper's design is hit and miss. jsp's is always kind of the same, which is to say tolerable enough.
not all of document sounds like that; it doesn't matter so much for a sermon, anyhow. (as long as you can make out the words!)
but yeah, i'm not stopping anyone from buying this, i just have a strong reaction against stuff that's so lavishly packaged and priced accordingly. i'd rather just have the music and not the wooden box that won't fit on my shelf and the cotton etc. seems rather silly. and yes, i hate fun.

it probably comes from the same part of me that vaguely objects to people loading dvds with "bonus material" (especially--ugh--commentaries). i like it when it's just the movie, or in t his case just the music. there's something appealing to me about that.

Is there a more general Dust-to-Digital thread? I can't see one...
New release, "Take Me To The Water: Immersion Baptism In Vintage Music", looks as unavoidably tempting as ever.
