Allan Holdsworth - The Man Who Changed Guitar Forever (97 tracks, $6.99) - according to a reviewer on Amazon, this is every track on his 12 solo albums.
Wow, thank you, Muggsy, that is a demented bargain there. Also from the Revolver Records label, same as the Sinatra, is this $3.99 99 track collection of Tamla Motown singles - interesting in that it is mostly the lesser knowns, which I would like to know better - I have had that Motown box set of the A-listers for years so I don't need them. https://beta.emusic.com/album/2236380/Various-Artists/Tamla-Motown
I bought the Sinatra set, retagged all the albums with the original name, year and album art. The last three tracks of "Sinatra - Baisie: An Historic Musical First" are missing, probably to keep the set at 99 tracks.
Probably most people on emusers.org are anal about tagging their music correctly.
My daughter (who I appear to have no influence on at all) tagged all the the music she "obtained" from youtube as "Owl City." So she bluetooths her iPod to the car stereo, plays the Blackbird by the Beatles, and the screen says "Owl City." I honestly think she was adopted.
Well, there's a new compilation called The Focus Family for $1.99 for 88 minutes of music from the group Focus and offshoots (Thijs Van Leer, for example).
A detail for purists retagging the Lucky Thompson - the track listed as "One Cool Night" is listed on the original release as "When Cool Night". Also, the entire collection is tagged as Artist: Martial Solal. Fortunately there is good info on the source releases here.
There is an awful lot to plow through on that Fresh Sound Records label but in some rare leisure time I was able to find tracks that I did not have on some of their releases, namely Art Farmer and Gigi Gryce, and Gene Ammons. Will take some time to investigate and compare against my sprawling collection but for completists like myself it is rewarding. https://www.emusic.com/label/16620/Fresh-Sound-Records
Dave Brubeck - At Storyville 1954, $4.49, for ten tracks, so not a real bargain but I like Brubeck. Some of these tracks appeared on the Complete 50s concerts.
From the Hubro label, Jo Berger Myhre & Ólafur Björn Ólafsson, The Third Script. "Norway meets Iceland in wildly inventive ambient-gothic improvisations recorded in an abandoned Reykjavik warehouse Jo Berger Myhre and Ólafur Björn Ólafsson have created a strikingly original sound-world that, while it may have its antecedents, doesn’t really remind you of anyone else."

This is when I wished we had album pricing rather than track pricing. £41.58 in the UK!! No-one will buy it at that price...
