I just went to Berkshire Record Outlet (www.berkshirerecordoutlet.com)
and got most of the cycle on Arkadia for $2.99/cd.  I also notice a
complete set (plus some filler) on TIM for $19.90 (10 cds).  I had this
cycle on EMI GROC LP.  The Arkadia set has at least as good sound.  There
are other masterings for more money, but I'm satisfied with Arkadia.
