The Complete Columbia Albums Collection [Box Set] [Limited Edition]

by Grover Washington Jr.

Overview

This compact set, released in 2011, contains all of Grover Washington, Jr.'s releases for the Columbia label. The saxophonist's A House Full of Love, Strawberry Moon, Then and Now, Time Out of Mind, Next Exit, All My Tomorrows, Soulful Strut, Breath of Heaven: A Holiday Collection, and Aria are contained within, packaged individually in LP replica sleeves. When it was released, it retailed at a price roughly equivalent to the sum of three full-price compact discs. It's a relatively cheap way to obtain a significant portion of Washington's discography, perhaps frustratingly so for avid fans who bought each album as it was released.
