Where CS really shines is with the collections they sometimes put together. Last summer I bought the Summer Jazz Collection they offered - $25 for a box of fantastic stuff. It included four box sets (including Ella Fitzgerald Sings George Gershwin and a four-cd Jazz Piano set) along with I think 12 other CDs ranging from Coltrane to Ellington to Mel Torme. It was an absolute goldmine for my particular music tastes. I'm hoping they offer something similar again this summer.
They also occasionally have imports that I haven't seen offered elsewhere.

Yeah, sounds like a higher quality than the ones from Amazon that I'm thinking of (although that Bach set that I linked to looks mighty nice--I've just got to be sure that I don't already own it).
Frankly, these 99 cent albums from Amazon that I'm thinking of (a lot of them, maybe most of them, have bright red covers) are "tired." The collections have the same ole predictable songs, and the different sets often repeat songs that are on other sets.
Thanks for letting us know about "your" sale.
BTW--I appreciate you posting these bargains that I find. Frankly, I run across so many freebies that I don't feel like I have the time to post music bargains, not matter how good they are. A good problem to have.
