Collectables wrapped a thin cardboard slipcase around three of their single-disc Tommy Dorsey compilations to create the three-disc box set I'm Getting Sentimental Over You. The collected importance of the remote-broadcasts collection That Sentimental Gentleman, along with a two-volume set of greatest hits (This Is Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra, Vol. 1, This Is Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra, Vol. 2) lends itself well to this sort of compilation. Collectables' prices are usually cheap, and this set has over three hours of great music from Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra. ~ John Bush
