A number of years ago, I had bought a broadcast of various New Years Eve's Big Band Broadcasts, where they would switch to various ballrooms throughout the night. Is anyone familiar with that, and, if so, is it still available, and, can I get it on cd? Also, anyone familiar with the Sinatra box set of radio broadcasts, that is available through Radio Sprits? If so, how is the quality sound wise? Thanks for your help.
