Time-Life Album Discography, Part 16:
Big Bands Series

This is the first issued version of the Big Bands Series.  It consists of 29 half-speed mastered, two-LP vinyl box sets, totaling 58 LPs.  Liner notes are printed on a single 12x12-inch sheet, printed both sides, in black and white.  Catalogue numbers for the vinyl box sets followed an STBB- series prefix. 

These records were passed down by 'grandpa' and are in great condition.  From what I can see, all records are right around the VG/VG+ grade level.  Grandpa took excellent care of these, and it definitely shows!

The following is a description of what you'll find on each box set.
