I have purchased all the Select sets over the years, then sold most of them when they went out of print, One benefit of being a Vinyl Record Collector is, searching for those original Vinyl copies that the those set are comprised of, My favorites are the Hill set, the Johnny Richards set, Both Charles Tolliver sets, the Sam Rivers and the John Carter Bobby Bradford set, I will never sell those sets.

Mosaic has really slowed down the select releases for some reason, maybe they aren't selling real well right now. Most of the early ones sold out.
 The Andrew Hill one is great. So much unissued stuff. I have the Johnny Mercer one as well and although I have to be in the mood it is great to hear his songs done by him. He gets close to Bing Crosby who is another for in the mood for me.  Frank Sinatra and Frankie Laine have a  little more ooomph, play them all day.

The Sam Rivers, I am still half and half with. It is a bit different to his original early stuff with Blue Note being more out there for me.

I only have 4 Selects all up but the Hill and Hutcherson are the faves.

Did you have the Jackie McLean set with "High Frequency" included? It is the only place you can get the album. Wish they would release it. Never heard it and it is the only Blue Note stuff if his I do not have. I would not buy an entire set though just to get one album  Even I am not that keen.
