The cheapest place I have found on line is http://www.deepdiscountcd.com . My discount is cost on the CD's from the record store I work at and Deep Discount was cheaper then that! _________ Hans, emailed me about my question listed above. _________ Hi Mike, The Bear Family set only has the recordings Wills made for Vocalion / OKeh and Columbia between September 23, 1935, and October 16, 1947, plus a few 1943-1945 airchecks. If you want the Tiffany Transcriptions, you will have to pick up the Rhino CDs.

This thread has some very useful things on it: Jazz Pimp Member Member # 2139 posted November 26, 2002 01:11 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have picked up the Willie Nelson set.

They have an English ection on their web page.

The first, "Cry" is fabulous. It contains, on it's five CD's, every major hit and some less-known tracks, which are actually my favourites. His version of the old blues classic, "Lotus Blossom", is, to me, rivetting. The second box, "Yes, Tonight Josephine", is less fabulous, in fact, disappointing. I think that unless you are hell-bent on acquiring the duets with Timi Yuro, don't bother with the second volume. It's possible to get "Til Morning/A Sinner Am I" and "On The Trail", which was a collection of western trail songs, on separate and much less costly CD's. The second box is rife with filler material and, for over $100 is too expensive for what it contains, IMO.

Ok, the Lefty gets a little spotty towards the end, but it's the only way to get a lot of his stuff without lots of duplication. and Jimmie Rodgers is simply one of the cornerstones of American music (again, IMHO). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 154 | From: Portland, OR USA | Registered: May 2001 | IP: Logged bluenotelover Member Member # 235 posted December 01, 2002 08:50 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I love the Hank Thompson (12) complete Capitol Bear set. (but, I love Hank Thompson) You can get the early Merle Haggard on Bear. But Capitol has also re-issued the individual albums on CD. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 680 | From: Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA or Santa Monica, CA, USA | Registered: Jul 99 | IP: Logged Out2Lunch Member Member # 1071 posted December 01, 2002 09:23 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The three Rosemary Clooney sets put out by Bear Family are also outstanding! -------------------- -Tod -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 1661 | From: | Registered: Aug 2000 | IP: Logged Jazz Pimp Member Member # 2139 posted December 03, 2002 08:27 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of my favorite Bear Family sets not mentioned here is the Charlie Rich Sun set. Rich has made many, many really bad records in his time, but this set shows there was allot of talent behind it all. The first disc is all of the original issued recordings. Second disc is all of the tracks on disc one without overdubs. Third disc is unused takes or unreleased demos. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 304 | From: Pimpsville | Registered: Sep 2001 | IP: Logged mesfen Member Member # 1165 posted December 07, 2002 12:41 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jazz Pimp,the West/Bryant set "Flaming Guitars" is simply incredible; Speedy West is the Hendrix of the steel pedal. The Carter Family set is a must.For the age of these recordings, Bear Family has done an immaculate job. The Bob Wills' set San Antonio Rose gives you the complete big band recordings plus you get a DVD of one his grade Z westerns. The Stanley Brothers sets (who are nearly completely ignored in the States)are essential. The sets represent the era when they first recorded their most important work. Not on your list, you should investigate the Jim and Jesse set. I rank this set right up with the Monroe and Flatt/Scruggs' sets. Saving up my Christmas money for the newest Monroe set. Can't get enough of that man. BTW where do you purchase your Bear Family sets? The cheapest place that I have found is deepdiscountcd.com (current online 10% off code 1001 or 0100 (working from memory)); they have free standard shipping. Another place is cdwolf.com; he always has EBay auctions, but you can purchase directly without EBay. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 62 | From: Lawrence,KS USA | Registered: Oct 2000 | IP: Logged PJ Member Member # 3711 posted December 07, 2002 06:34 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deeppdiscount sell the new Bear Family Monroe for $102.16.

Also have you listened to Sneeky Pete Kleinlow (spelling?) on early New Riders of the Purple sage. Love his solo in Dirty Business.

He did have a very good solo album called "Sneaky Pete", but haven't seen it out. Hey if you are into incredible steel playing and if you are into a Bear Family binge , check out the Ray Price set; Jimmy Day's playing is NICE!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 62 | From: Lawrence,KS USA | Registered: Oct 2000 | IP: Logged Peter Z Member Member # 2759 posted December 12, 2002 02:47 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey my memory is bad.

Out of all the Bear Family box set's the one that has been in the CD player since the end of December is the Willie Nelson. I love his singing and songwriting. Does anyone know how the flow is on the BILL MONROE, JIMMIE RODGERS, and Original Carter Family sets? Are there a lot of alternate takes toether or are they on a seperate disc? Does anyone own the Ray Price set? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 304 | From: Pimpsville | Registered: Sep 2001 | IP: Logged J.A.W.

I have Waylon Jennings' 70's RCA 'Outlaw' CD's, but have been nervous about the Bear Family set's because I heard that he started out sounding like the Kingston Trio. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 304 | From: Pimpsville | Registered: Sep 2001 | IP: Logged J.A.W. Member Member # 1817 posted March 01, 2003 02:02 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're into Western Swing and Honky Tonk, you'll like Carl Smith - AMG, click here. As for Waylon, much of his early material is folk-related, though I wouldn't go as far as calling it Kingston Trio music. I love some of his earlier albums, such as Leavin' Town and Hangin' On, and most of his late 1960s / early-to-mid 1970s albums, from Just to Satisfy You to Dreaming My Dreams. They contain great country music and, of course, much of his "Outlaw" material. The second Bear Family set might be the one for you. Waylon Jennings - AMG, click here.

Rhino has a 10 CD's out of this stuff.
