Though I still buy box sets, I'm aware that I don't play them as often 
as singles, partly because they often contain deadwood and also because 
it's too much hassle to dig out the individual CDs and then hunt through 
the booklets for the details of what you're listening to.

Bear Family's booklets are generally hardbound, adding to the postage 
costs. I was also disappointed with the sound on a few of them: The 2 
Dean Martin Capitols and the Ella Mae Morse--much too bright compared 
with earlier issues.
