The Complete Glenn Miller and His Orchestra
(September 27, 1938 - July 14, 1942)
RCA 61015-21991 (Bluebird Records)

September, 1991
14:15:05
This 13-CD set (which is enclosed in an attractive and compact black box) completely reissues the contents of the nine double-LP series of the same name, all 277 studio recordings (including 20 alternate takes placed on the 13th disc)
that were made by Glenn Miller's extremely popular orchestra. In addition to all of the hits and the occasional jazz performances, the misses (and the many Ray Eberle vocals) are also on this set, so general collectors just wanting a taste
of Miller's music would be better off getting a less expensive greatest-hits set.
However, true Glenn Miller fans should consider this remarkable reissue to be essential; it's all here.
