My latest have been a few dozen Real Gone Jazz sets from Amazon.
They have 6 to 8 Jazz albums in each box. mainly from the 50’s 60’s aand are great for filling in collections.
So Out of each box I might have already had one album on LP or CD. So with this purchase I have added over 160 new to me full Jazz albums of really great material.
They compliment the earlier ProperBox sets I have.
And cheap too. Average cost per box with shipping was under $13 each set.
