        Merge did a great job of putting together this classic collection. While The Clean were never HiFi, this is best I've ever heard these recordings. The records play dead quiet and are centered correctly. And the mix is quite lovely with a nice, full sound with punchy bass. Even comes with a card. Highly recommended.
