[78-L] Setting new standards of awfulness

[David Lennick]

Every once in a while you run across a record that makes your jaw drop in terms 
of its horrible quality or ineptness in execution or .. why the hell does it 
fade up in the middle of a verse and run only 2 minutes? Such a record is The 
Barry (Bagelman) Sisters "Kotereena" (pronounced Katarina), on HIT 7094. What 
there is of it is a pretty good rhumba, with a pretty good band with some hot 
klezmer clarinet, as well as the worst surface noise anywhere, plus bumps and 
dropouts in the original source. This must have been all that was salvageable 
from a broken or damaged master. And it's take 2 yet! The other side is fine.

Wotta mess...
