I don't mean to be rude with that...but it just seems to me that their title is a bit of a household name in many countries,
To be flippantly honest, the primary reason that is true is that I (and many others better than I) opted to not flagrantly violate copyright laws eight or nine years ago, and stuck to that decision. 8)

I don't mean to be rude with that...but it just seems to me that their title is a bit of a household name in many countries, so perhaps they're closer to a commercial compilation as far as this thread goes than personal DJs' mixes? I suppose it depends how they were distributed, but they sure seem to me to have more of a status than your average mix.

But I'll concede that we can stop discussion on this series. (Unless anyone's got a copy to send/sell me!)
Lawrence is lumping different things together.

The Lindy Hop Jamboree was sold publically. You could buy Lindy Hop Jamboree on the internet, at certain venues, etc...

I am unaware of any Lindy DJ that sell their own comps. I don't.
