Half-Speed Mastered LPs

15 Boxed Set Collection

In the days of LPs...these were the bees-knees! This complete collection of 15 boxed sets of pristine vinyl covers a huge swath of what was known as "The Big Band Era". Nine (9) of the sets are still in their original shrinkwrap. The others may have been played once or twice but on high-quality equipment. I can safely say they are as close to MINT as I am allowed to rate them not being in original wrap.

As there are limits to how much can be listed on one auction page, I will be unable to list every cut on evey LP set. Here are the highlights:

ARTIE SHAW: (2LP set/21 cuts - not in shrinkwrap) Including: Moon Glow, Carioca, Indian Love Call, Begin the Beguine
