Apologies in advance if this has been covered before.
I've really enjoyed reading the Blue Note threads (Tone Poets etc) and as a result of looking through Amazon for some of those releases also came across this CD series.
Unlike some compilation CDs where you get a number of records spread across a double CD, this series keeps each release on its own CD with the original sleeve artwork. Yes the reproduced covers are small but you still get the sense that you're listening to a complete record.
I've gone a bit mad and bought a load of the releases but so far I think they are super value as each box set sells for £10 to £12, and each, as the title suggests, has five albums in it.
So far I've bought Jackie McLean:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BLJ8MYK/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21
Joe Henderson:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01KL0L9DA/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21
Freddie Hubbard:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C8FD4VC/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21
Herbie Hancock:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01KL0L9EY/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21
Lee Morgan:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01KL0L9EY/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21
Miles Davis
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01KL0L9EY/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21
Cassandra Wilson:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0791XV7R4/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21
Jimmy Smith
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B079229SL9/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21
And last but not least Paolo Fresu:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LZ02G1K/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21
So, that's a staggering 45 albums for around £100. But, it's not about quantity. Each box set is very nicely presented and so far and to my ears the recordings sound very, very good.
Best wishes, Peter
