Those Swinging’ Days

I bought this record set in local Ace store. I always want to have some kind of collection that would summarize the music of 20s and 40s. This 3LP set has a collection of some great music from that era. Quality of the records where appropriate so I transferred the collection to wav, mp3 and later uploaded to Youtube so others can enjoy.
Information from the cover states that the original monophonic recordings have been electronically enhanced by a brilliant two channel effect for today’s stereo phonographs. So, this set was probably released in 70s, not sure though.

Apparently, this box-set comes with an insert booklet that provides more information about artists. However, I don’t have that in my possession now. I will update this post if I find it.
