  1. Thank you for this excellent series! At one time, I had a bunch of these on vinyl but they ended up getting sold during one of my "thinning the stacks" periods. Each collection has some killer gems and a few "OK" songs, but really nothing bad. The variety is impressive, and very few expected "hits" found on numerous other compilations are found on these.

  2. Thanks again for this. Like sfdoomed I had most of these on vinyl but only a few now. I agree with what was said about the variety of tracks all of which came from selected LPs. At the time much of this was not so easily available on the net or through trading. For those of us who loved to explore what the "world" had to offer these were a must have. I knew there were other other volumes planned but for some reason they never appeared. It will be fun to listen to these again.
