[Cary Ginell]

Yes, he did. This the third SOTP box set. The other one, besides the Standards, was their post-war recordings for RCA Victor.

A lavish, full-color hardback book with an essay by Douglas B. Green is included. The set is advertised as "The Complete Commercial Recordings" of these fine acts, but this is a misnomer - alternate takes are included on many songs, but issued takes are not. Still, it's a terrific sounding and looking set. I provided a few test pressings for the box. The set includes recordings made for Decca and ARC.
