Collectables also has 7 Wilbur De Paris dixieland CDs, 2 albums per CD.
These, if I recall correctly, were oiginally issued by Atlantic.

The Condons were issued previously in a Mosaic set at $16 per CD; lotsa
great stuff. Make sure you get the "Jammin' at Condons", one of my favorite
albums; it's in stereo, and one can hear Condon's plectrum guitar clearly.
The only loser in the bunch (IMHO) is "Midnight in Moscow" because the guys
didn't cope well with non-dixieland tunes, but I can't remember
specifically the "Roaring Twenties" album. The Rampart Street Paraders are
a bunch of Condonites lead, IIRC, by clarinetist Matty Matlock (the
complete Paraders session is on another Mosaic set, "Condon Mob").
