Criticism Regarding Recording Quality
The recording quality of early Collectables' releases is often criticized by audiophiles. Early LPs and CDs were often dubbed from scratchy records. Both Sides Now publisher Mike Callahan (in his book of CD reviews, Oldies on CD), regularly gave early Collectables' CDs low scores based on the sound quality. Over the years, the sound quality has improved greatly on Collectables' releases. Since the mid-1990s, Little Walter DeVenne has remastered many of the label's reissues, and the company has also made extensive use of the in-house mastering and restoration services of the major labels from whom they license material.
