Coming to the end of the year 2004 collection, there are a few (only) from 2003 and
even less from earlier years, as mentioned before, if anyone has copies of Best of Jazz
that are missing here, I'd be very happy to receive them for posting, I can handle most 
formats. Cassette tape, DAT tapes, Reel to Reel (3.75,7.5,15 IPS), CD/CD-R, DVD,
Files in .WAV. AAC. FLAC, MP3, OGG, M4A formats.
