VERY BEST!
If there is a finer collection of American song, I certainly don't know of it. I mean, just listen to this line-up of singers:
James Taylor, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Sophie Tucker, Peggy Lee, Sarah Vaughan, Mel Torme, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Bing Crosby, Bessie Smith, Tony Bennett, Judy Garland, Johnny Mathis, Joe Williams, Rosemary Clooney---the list goes on and on and on.
With selections that cover an enormous gamut: BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A DIME, MY FUNNY VALENTINE, CHEEK TO CHEEK, I GOT IT BAD AND THAT AIN'T GOOD, I GET A KICK OUT OF YOU, SOME OF THESE DAYS, I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN, LUSH LIFE, HERE'S THAT RAINY DAY, ZING WENT THE STRINGS ON MY HEART, JEEPERS CREEPERS, etc., etc, etc. (Suffice it to say, the list takes your breath away.)
A glorious collection of tunes and great performers that will keep any music lover happily listening for days and days on end.
Fabulous, unmatched collection: Box without fault, all corners intact, crisp. Book is just fine, and all 7 LPs will play near mint. Incredibly well tended. (Box still creaks when opened.)
For other fine records, TAS picks and hard-to-finds, please see my complete list of offerings here on eBay.
Shipping and handling is $4 for a single LP shipped within the States; $1 for each additional LP. Internationally, $19.60 via airmail for the first LP, $4 each thereafter. (Canada is $13.50; $3 each additional.) Boxes over 4 lbs., add another $6, because First Class is no longer available at that weight, just Priority Mail. Note, too, boxed sets of LPs require more postage.
