Great Music/Great Price

Robert · From: Chicago

The UK's Proper Records - if you've seen these box sets in the stores or on-line - buy with confidence. I have "The Count Basie Story" - 4 CD's of prime Basie band for about $26. - and "Doughboys, Playboys, and Cowboys" - a 4 CD compilation of western swing, also purchased for around $25.
I'm currently waiting on a 4 CD box of Bob Wills (I have a slew of Wills already, but can't get enough) that I found for $20.99, and a box set of Billie Holiday for the same price. Later, The Nat King Cole Trio. I don't know how they do it - nice packaging, great sound, 50-page booklets of liner notes and session info . . . this is how it probably should be all of the time! Here's a link to their site - I find them in some shops and also at CDNOW -

That Doughboys Playboys and Cowboys set is awsum. I found it included some Wills I don't have as well as Milton Brown etc

The Bob Wills set showed up yesterday, and it's a gem: 109 tracks of prime Wills from 1932-1950 for $20.99, plus shipping. Unless you own the giant Bear Family set, you're going to hear a lot of tracks you haven't heard on CD before . . .
