When I first processed Rex8001 I assumed that the lack of bass was because it was early days and they hadn't worked out how to get a decent bass response. Rex8002 already sounded better. I don't have Miss Otis but maybe it was just a Jay Wilbur problem.

The original 78s are still available if you search for those titles on Ebay. If you have no way of playing them I'm sure you'll be able to find someone to transfer them to CD for you. If all else fails I could do it for you.
