A batch turned up on eBay a couple of years ago, from someone selling his 
grandfather's collection..unfortunately he didn't know how to pack, so some 
discs arrived damaged. My parents bought 3 of the albums new in 1948, and I've 
turned up quite a few of them in Toronto over the years. I'd love to see them 
issued as a box set..if there were still people buying CDs..
