Reducing noise, but not throwing away music is a real art.

It used to be the case that reducing noise was done with a severe treble cut but nowadays there are much better ways such as CEDAR if you are rich or Clickrepair for normal mortals. I used to collect CDs of old music but many of them are poor quality especially the older ones. In the meantime I process the recordings myself with much better results.
By chance I have a Jay Wilbur recording here:
Jay Wilbur, Lazybones
I'd be interested to hear your opinion. This is an early REX recording (REX started at 8001) so the frequency range is limited
