For those that like the Big Band sound ....

I have purchased 4 collections that total 18 CDs. 14 of them are of Glenn Miller. The one collection is a 10 CD set that has 204 tracks on it. I think that is Glenn's total discography. I know between the two collections there has to be every song that Glenn did. :=3
To be sure there are duplicates between sets, but the collections are worth it.

There a total of 390 tracks for 19 hours 38 minutes and 57 seconds of listening time. The time span of the collections run from 1930 - 1955 and includes some of the biggest names of the time.
The Andrew Sisters doing Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company "B"? Got it! :=3
Frank Sinatra singing I’ll Never Smile Again with the Tommy Dorsey band? It's there too.

Who knows I may even bring the collection with me to AC. We can then have a swinging good time. :=3

Awesomeness.

In my case, it would be Benny Goodman .. oh, wait, I already have half of everything he recorded.

As much as I like the works of Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller and the like, I don't know if I could go through 390 tracks of it without a break.

I would need to go find some down-tempo electronica or industrial minimalist tracks to counterbalance all the upbeat swing after a couple hours of listening.

Well, I don't plan to listen to all 19.5 plus hours of music at one sitting. :=3

I bought the collections not just for me, but for the DJ that I produce.

I'd recommend "Roaring 20's Crazy 30s" - 10 CDs for £10, the documentation is garbage, the recordings from about 1925 to 1941 (!) however are great transfers of brilliant dance band music.
