Incredible collection of some of the most beautiful music ever recorded. The complete 100-LP series of 'The Greatest Recordings Of The Big Band Era' Archive Collection by The Franklin Mint Record Society. The collection consists of 25 box sets of each 4 LP's + a biographical and historical booklet with photographs about the artists featured. Some boxes also include a letter from the vice president and director of the label. Each LP is pressed with a special vinyl formulation that enabled a clear, quiet playing surface on a more rigid (heavy weighted) LP disc, pressed and processed using pure virgin "ruby red colored" vinyl. These box sets are very rare, only released through a subscription service, and most not even found on Discogs. The entire collection is in incredible condition and practically unplayed! 14 out of 25 boxes are still sealed, the other 11 are opened but mostly unplayed, very few have been played once only. Some of the opened boxes show very light regular storage wear on the outside, but all at least VG++ and most Near Mint - Mint. Artists include: Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Benny Carter, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and many more (see photos)
