When other companies' boxed sets grow up, they want to be Bear Family boxed sets! Bear Family boxed sets are different! Every one is housed in an LP-sized box (12-inch x 12-inch) , and every book is an LP-sized book. This means that the photos are large and the text is readable. All the biographies are newly researched and checked for accuracy. Many of the photos and illustrations are previously unpublished... and we haven't even got onto the music yet! Every Bear Family boxed set CD is generously full (usually 79 minutes... usually double the length of other companies' CDs!), and every CD is mastered from the original first-generation tapes for optimum sound quality. True, the price is a little higher than other companies boxed sets, but look at what you get! PS: Of course the Bear Family also has lots of Single-CDs in their program!
