danasgoodstuff Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 I have the library's copy of the Prestige box out and I must say they did a nice job. Good, representative music, coherent but not ovely lengthy notes with lots of short quotes from the various guys that worked there with only a couple of swipes at Blue Note who they obviously considered the main competition. It's the first time I've been at all clear on who worked there when. A better job than the overly long Blue Note box, IMHO. Or maybe I just don't know or care as much about Prestige. What say you?

ghost of miles Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 This is an excellent label box-set that I’ve been revisiting over the weekend. I picked up a number of sets like these—the Contemporary, Riverside and Debut boxes—when they were getting bargain-priced on their way to OOP status. The booklet is very well-done, with lots of background info on Prestige and the artists it recorded. Highly recommended if you run into a cheaply-priced copy.
