Actually, I didn't mean the quality of the Proper and JSP sets, I meant 
the pre-Decca Shearings, which aren't on either set.

I only have one Fremeaux (Oscar Aleman), and I've heard better quality. 
They did some Djangos, which included previously unreissued material, 
but I saw a lot of them in 2nd hand bins, so assume their quality wasn't 
high.
