Sarah Vaughan - Complete on Mercury

[sihmon]

Hello, I'm new to the forum, and have a (to me) very pressing plea for help!

I was just lucky enough to obtain two of "The Complete Sarah Vaughan On Mercury" boxed sets at a reasonable price, namely volumes 1 and 4, BUT neither of them contained any information booklet. So, what I am in need of is:

1) A verification whether or not these boxed sets actually came with information booklets (I would be *so* surprised if they didn't, but I guess anything is possible), and

2) If they did, could anyone help me immensely by either xeroxing or scanning the booklets for me?!

I am incredibly thankful for any help with this! (The music is great, btw ...)

Okay, now I KNOW that there were additional information with these boxed sets. So, again, I cry out for SOMEONE to be kind-hearted enough to want to help me obtain the information in the booklets! Please!

Maybe go to a post where Shawn or another member has posted about vocalists, there have been posts about this in the past, if it wasn't all lost in the crash, and ask them there and maybe you will get an answer there if one doesn't pop up here.

Good luck. Fun to listen to isn't she?
