    yeah, seems like a no-brainer, yet, I somehow didn't order one. Sometimes I'm a complete idiot. Would like to get a follow up on the SQ and thoughts on the production.

    Pics or it didn't happen, nevermind glad you got yours Daryll, waiting patiently for mine, no flipping here. I plan on doing some non critical listening and post a picture on the What Are You Listening To Thread once mine arrives :|

    No plans to flip here... but who am I kidding, even when I buy one with the intention to flip... it still seems to stay at home where it belongs!

    Mine was supposed to be delivered today via Ontrac, therefore, I will probably never get it.

    Received mine this afternoon a day earlier than stated in the update email last week. Looks to be a real nice set. Especially for the price.

    Thanks for the heads up on the @Dabutcher.

    The little amount of time I've spent listening to it I have enjoyed it immensely. Fall through January is my busiest time of year for other hobbies but I'm looking forward to the day I can spend more time with this one. I went to the Black Friday Record Store day yesterday and seen a used copy for 50 bucks, so yeah all of us got a pretty sweet deal on this gem B)

    niccce.
    I keep checking on it from time to time. There's a little 2hr jazz program that comes on our local public radio on Saturday nights, and Ella Fitzgerald's always on it a few times. Seems like this collection would be great for the vinyl experience.

    What did you guys think about this album set? Forgetting the original $11 price point, is it worth having the whole set? These are between $75 - $115 these days.

    @msg I just posted about this in the other thread. I think I may have only listened to it once but from what I can remember it was worth the cost. Great packaging. But if I was purchasing for long term listening I'm sure I would be looking for the AP 45 pressing.

    Yeah, @Joey_V 's thread reminded me of this box set, and I didn't realize at first that the album he's looking for is included in this set. Not the same pressing obviously. Good info re: the AP 45, thanks Todd.

    Joey if you see this, definitely, as recommended on your other thread, set up an account on Discogs. Fantastic resource for research and figuring out which version's which. Sometimes owners will comment down at the bottom of a release page, so you can get a sense for quality, or whether there's a better recommended pressing.
