I just stumbled on the box set of "Swing Tanzen Verboten" from Proper, and a "Slim & Slam" box set. Both are fun pop music from the 1920's to the 50's.
Can anyone recommend others?

Those sound like a couple of really good finds, Dee. How did you come across them?
Thrift store for the former; the (used) jazz section of a cd store, for the latter.
I thought about you, this weekend as I opened my 4-cd Columbia Sinatra set. "Oh, if only I were neighbors with Ock-man, I could read those swell liner notes and hear 'Laura' from his 12-cd complete set."

Dave, do you remember the YOUR HIT PARADE CD series that Time-Life used to hawk on TV? They pushed Tom Bosley in front of the camera in that extended informercial from the early '90s. I think the set starts around 1940 or so. I probably still have the amateurish-looking (but exhaustive) catalog they sent me circa 1999 when I briefly subscribed to the series.
I didn't see the commercial, but I might have heard of them, JP. I think those were cut down to individual song performances, weren't they?
Your reminder had me looking for my YHP collection and found that the cd with my 1936-44 shows are missing. I wonder if, like other things, I'll find it when I move out someday ("Oh, look, that's where that went to...")
