Masters of the Big Bands

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Country. The box has no obvious indications of release country: only a small logo 'SIB tryck' indicates a Swedish printer. Record labels are of the usual maroon Capitol Records type, but carry the text 'Made in Sweden'. The record numbers (7C ...) suggest a scandinavian release.

Contents. The first record corresponds very closely in titles, tracks lengths and track order (no acustid yet) to the first record in the German 'Swing Goes On!' series, and it is suspected that the remaining three records also may do so.
