Sold. Thanks.

Up...still have a lot of music that is available. PM if interested.

Just as the title says. If you have either of these available for sale or trade, please pm me.

Bump, lots of good music still available.

I'll say right now that these two boxes, which I've been listening to this week and which I plan to spend the rest of the year immersed in, immediately vault up to the top three or four sets in my collection. As I've said elsewhere, the best box sets tell stories, and this one does that better than anything else I've ever encountered. Of course you can get all this music burned onto a disc. But for that matter, if you want, you can get almost anything for free if you know where to look. I'm grateful that somebody decided to issue this material in a way that was respectful to its historical importance.

I'm not sure how all these sets are "rated," but I've always loved the J.J. Johnson box.

And a last update...I've added two more sets, the massive Herbie Hancock Columbia Albums set and the John Coltrane Live in Japan set. Thanks for looking!

Up with price drops on the remaining box sets.
