Comment "Essential original albums" is a compilation of B.B. King early albums. The CD1 contains "Singin' the Blues" and "More B.B. King". The average DR is 6 but note that the first album (tracks 1-12) is DR5 and the second (tracks 13-22) is DR7, better. The sound is not horrible at all, but after measuring it I'm quite disappointed it's so much compressed, especially the first CD. This is "24 bit digitally remastered", without more detail about the masters.
