Time Life Classic Jazz


This morning while reading the newspaper and listening to ESPN, the commercial for this collection came on again. I flipped over to the Time Life web site and took a look at it. It is one of their typical buy the first two discs, then get another disc every month. The total set consists of 10 discs for a total of about $110 currently "on sale" for about $94.

Has anyone listened to any of these discs? If not has anyone listened to any of the other Time Life discs? What is the quality of these recordings? Thanks :-) Doug

I want to generalize if appropriate:

I've had baaad experiences buying boxed sets since most-likely this is not a remastering but rather re-re-re-remastering of previous releases to make a compilation so that you can play it on some mega disk changer or car player(god forbid to play it on a descent component setup). I was crazy to buy a Led Zep boxed set and was extreamly dissapointed with the quality of these CDs. After all I avoid buying any compilations(except movie soundtracks sometimes they're great) or boxed sets.

And after all 10 discs for $94 isn't such a great deal for the boxed set -- still tooo much.
