Folks! Forget about Proper Records. I've just started my own reissue label - Anton Records! Just send me twenty bucks in a brown envelope and you can become the lucky owner of AntonBox 001 - The Complete Jimmie Lunceford 1927-1939. Spanning seven CDs (hmm...), the box features these amazing tracks:Swifty wrote:Those Proper sets are the greatest.
