Thanks for the nod on the Mae West set and for the photos, Scraggy.
Powerhouse do a fabulous job on these collections. A sturdy outerbox with unfussy and eye-catching artwork, cardboard sleeves for each disc with a vibrant poster image on the cover and a unique image per disc - plus a shed load of bonus content.
Mae West was head and shoulders (and other bits) above the sassy competition in her heyday.
