    Put the box in a protective platic poly bag.

    Perhaps you are joking, but protection of nearly all of the outer boxes of Bear Family sets is essential. When you come across a used set that has not been well protected, it shows.

    A&E had a series at one time called CITY CONFIDENTIAL. One of the episodes in season one was called Nashville: Murder in Music City. This was an excellent documentary on the death of Stringbean and his wife.
    It can probably be found online.

    Already have Vol 1 & 2 but spotted this the other day going cheap. They're great comps stuffed full of classy honky tonk, Vol 5 takes us from '61 through to '64.

    I have all 6 volumes, and they’re indeed great. Took me a while to get all of them but I’m glad I got them when I did, as it looks like some of them have gotten hard to find/expensive.

    Lefty box sound quality.
    On the old cd box from 1992 CD number 2 tracks:9.10,11.
    These was first released on some kind of disc by Flyright records.On this cd these tracks got lots of noice from the disc they was copied from.

    Now the new cd box from 2018.
    CD number 2 tracks 9,10,11 are the same songs that is on the 1992 version.
    But here is the noise from the vinyl/disc almost gone.Some kind of magic in sound restoration has happened.
    Have someone else noticed major improvement in sound quality?

    I don't have it myself yet (on order), but, in general, the "absence of noise" itself is not always an improvement in sound. Sometimes it may be, but not always. That was the case with many CDs over the years...less noise and poor quality often went hand-in-hand.

    I myself don't mind a bit of 'noise' in a recording. Much prefer a bit of hiss over done NR.
    A few pops and crackles are OK with me.

    I find that excessive noise reduction is far less prevalent than it used to be. Most reissue labels now seem to understand that it's better to leave in some residual noise than to CEDAR the life out of the music. At least that's what I've noticed.

    By the way, my copy is "hidden" on the top shelf of the guest room closet until my birthday.

    Ah, the days of trying to decide when making a cassette of an LP: Use Dolby B or Dolby C, or use no Dolby at all?

    The worst thing was many of those cassettes sounded better than the CDs that cost about 5 times as much as you could find the record.

    Christian Zwarg who is doing the sound restoration on many CD/vinyl for Bear Family Records have the lates software for restoring old recordings.
    On this site you can hear recordings over 110 years old he has restored.So you do not worry he is not destroying sound on recordings:

    I finally saved up enough to get this set, and it's worth every penny. Do you do the artwork and design for the entire set, such as the book, box itself and cd insterts, because this best looking Bear set I have ever owned. I wish I had taken pictures as I was opening it for the first time. Great Job! My next big purchase is going to be the Johnny Horton set.

    I've been listening to this set for the last 2 weeks, what is amazing is I haven't found even one dud.
