Thread Starter 
Inspired by recent discussions with, and threads started by, fractus2...

I'm curious what others have found for great deals of quality music in large quantity. Please list anything.

I'll start it off with:

1) Five disc Django Reinhardt Box Set: The Classic Early Recordings $25.99

2) Four disc The Hugo Masters Box Set: An Anthology of Chinese Classical Music $43.98

3) Three disc Glenn Gould's A State of Wonder: The Complete Goldberg Variations (1955 & 1981) $14.99

4) Three disc Burt Bacharach’s The Look Of Love $44.99

My prices are current listed from Amazon U.S.

Out of print at one point, not sure whether it's back or not: the Nimbus 5-CD set of Cuban Music Oriente de Cuba -- great performances of Cuban traditional styles (son, bolero, danzon, rumba, etc) by bands who eventually became fairly famous (e.g. Famila Valera Miranda). I got it through www.broinc.com for something like US$20, prices likely higher in record stores if you can find it (saw it once in Hong Kong for US$30, still a bargain if you ask me)

Sony classical has a "limited edition" Glen Gould box, a 13-CD set containing all his Sony recordings of Bach. It is very expensive at Amazon (who lists it as an import), but I saw it in Hong Kong for about US$45 or so.
