Actually, this was one of Time- Life's most popular sets, having been reissued at least three times since its introduction in the early 1970s (see below). This may be surprising to some, since the music on these box sets is not the original big band masters heard on the radio or purchased on record in the 1930s and 1940s. Instead, the music here is a recreation of big band songs, performed by Billy May & His Orchestra and the Glen Gray Casa Loma Orchestra recording for Capitol Records in the 1960s and early 1970s. What the sets do have going for them, however, is that these new recordings are in modern high quality stereo sound, unlike the pre-CD scratchy mono low-fidelity 78s that were used for mastering most compilations in the 1970s and 1980s. And the stereo remakes were fairly faithful to the original sounds. Actually, these recordings are much closer to what one actually heard and experienced being at a dance in the 1930s and 1940s with a big band, since the 1930s/1940s vintage recordings did not do the bands justice.
