Charlie Parker
Charlie Parker with Strings
Count Basie
April in Paris
Billie Holiday
Lady Sings the Blues
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
Ella and Louis
Stan Getz
Big Band Bossa Nova
Quincy Jones
Big Band Bossa Nova
Bill Evans
Conversations with Myself
The Oscar Peterson Trio
Night Train
Jimmy Smith
The Cat
George Benson
Giblet Gravy
The LPs are all 180g vinyl. I haven't played anything yet; in fact I haven't played any vinyl in a while, but I've started to buy it again despite that. And I have space in my LP rack; the CD rack is full.
I have some Mosaic LP sets which are also limited, but those are usually a few thousand; this is only 500. I feel like a collector, almost! Does anyone else have any limited edition LPs they're excited about?

Where did you buy the set? Thanks
