I've found these sets to be a dubious proposition.  You have to
accept a lot of chaffe in order to get a few pieces of wheat in
these sets (either that, or I'm incredibly picky about what I
consider music I'll actually *pay* for).  Also, many of these
are cut with non-standard groove geometries, making intermixing
with original records a little problematic.  I've found it much
more rewarding to follow some of the records auctions and pick
up individual disks of songs I really want for $25-50 each,
rather than buying these big sets for much more that will
mostly collect dust.
