Wow...

That sure is a broad spectrum, chronologically speaking.

[jazzbo]

Yeah, it looks good! Wide scope and from what I can tell, good choices.

[chris olivarez]

Oh Yeah!!!!! B-)

[PHILLYQ]

I've heard some of the stuff on there, and if the rest is up to that standard, then this set is a SMOKER! The Marcia Ball cut is excellent, the Dr John cuts are also very good, the Meters are great, Rebirth Brass Band are very hot, some 'Fess, a bit of zydeco, looks great to me. How much is it selling for?

[Free For All]

Info here.

This looks great, I have to say. Dammit Lon! B-)

Allan Lowe was offerering this box a little while ago in O/L for a good price:

New Orleans Box for Sale

[medjuck]

I resisted it for a few weeks because I thought I already had too many of the cuts on it. Then I read about the booklet and decided I had to have it. The booklet is great and it turns out I didn't have as much of the music as I thought and some of the best is by people I'd never even heard of before.
