[78-L] Early 20s Okeh sound

[Taylor Bowie]

A lot of early Okehs have an almost magic sound...my 1920 record of the 
Green Brothers Orch. playing "Palesteena" is not only a fine record,  but it 
has a "live" sound which is in many ways superior to most early electrics, 
and many later ones as well,  as David notes.
