Customer Reviews:

Best yet.......2007-05-14

This is the best collection of Glenn Miller! It doesn't sound "tinny" like so many remastered CDs. The only one you need.

I love this stuff!.......2007-03-22

I think I was born in the wrong time! I love this old stuff.

A wonderful musical document.......2007-03-12

This box-set is an wonderful musical document, and an exceptional value for the money. The 40-page booklet of bio, session & discography info makes for pleasant reading while listening. I'm going to enjoy this for a long time. The only minor disappointment was that the compiler was unable to find room for "St. Louis Blues March", a personal favorite & memorable selection from Hollywood's The Glenn Miller Story (1953) -- an excellent film, the DVD of which is also available here on Amazon.

Greatest Collection Ever!.......2007-03-12

If you love Big Band, This set is a must have.! Definitely worth the money!

The Golden Years.......2006-11-10
