How broad and narrow is the market for CD and vinyl box sets?
Broad enough that this year's releases include collections of music by The Beatles, David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Madonna, Pink Floyd, Flaming Lips, The Notorious B.I.G., The Beach Boys, jazz piano giant Ahmad Jamal and Peggy Lee, among others.
Narrow enough that there are also new sets featuring the music of such worthy but such decidedly obscure artists as Caravan, Bridget St. John, C.V.E., The Milkshakes, Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera and the Keef Hartley Band (which still ranks as one of the least-known acts to perform at the 1969 Woodstock festival).
