Cheap Box Sets


I tend to avoid these because I don’t trust them to be good quality and well remastered. A lot of them come from Europe and are marked up outrageously here.

But this one I couldn't resist. And it's great. Eight albums for the price of one.

Oliver Nelson - Eight Classic Albums

Got that right tosta , Beaux Arts Trio was a powerhouse group that has never been equaled . Never played a bad note .
As we are onto classical music, I would note there are now many inexpensive but high quality classical CD box sets available, mostly from the "big three": Universal Music, Sony Music, and Warner Classics.

A standout example would be Deutsche Grammophone’s (Universal Music) "The Originals" 50 CD box sets, Volumes I and II, which generally comprise top notch performances by many of DG’s finest artists over the last many years. Selling at around $100 per box -- $2.00 -- per CD on Amazon, these are one of the great bargains of the century (so far).




There's another Oliver Nelson box set that I've been watching on Amazon. 

Oliver Nelson: The Argo, Verve and Impulse Big Band Studio Sessions Import
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FBIYHU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=LARRM9BR2U0Z&...

Only 6 disks, fabulous music, selling for $199 used and $279 new.

Strangely enough, it can still be had from the record company, Mosaic, at $102. You gotta watch out for those Amazon sharks.
