I am rather astounded by the transfer. Andrew had a really sweet 
original source to work from. Hard to believe this broadcast is from 1943.

He added a small amount of convolution reverb, which simulates the sound 
of a real hall. It is not just digital echo. This is the first time I 
have heard a vintage recording with reverb added that I felt the results 
were successful and didn't sound like a vintage recording with phoney echo.

And if you want a low rez (128 kbps) copy for free, it is available from 
the web site for a limited time. Andrew really is generous with giving 
away complete low-rez samples of his work.
