All of these recordings are on the Proper label from England. Why play things from just one label? As I noted on the air today, I had only just purchased these albums and hadn't had a chance to listen to them yet. So we got to listen to them together. I hope you enjoyed them. Since most of the albums are 4-CD sets, there's plenty more!
