That wonderful out of phase quadraphonic mix. It's also been finally admitted 
that the piano rolls were cut at slower than normal speeds because of their 
length..no pianist could play the Rhapsody that fast, not even Georgie. I would 
avoid that record like the plague. Lots of issues of the original piano rolls 
out there, including one that actually sounds like a human pianist (that may be 
the Nonesuch, I'm not sure).
