Dear Mr Fine,
I'm really sorry to disagree with you but I must. The first box set contains 50 CDs, *3 of which are the second disc of a single, double disc release (ex: Nutcracker, Civil War, Bach)* That makes 47 actual releases.
If you look at the actual listing that was placed on the internet, they list them by release *not* by disc. There are 52 releases, some being multidisc).
According to a web site I found that lists *every CD release of the series made, there were 125 total number of releases, some multidisc.
47 + 52 = 99
125 - 99 = 26
26/125 = 0.208 = 20.8% still to be released.
One doesn't just buy one disc of The Nutcracker. It was not sold that way, was it, or am I wrong in this?

The second box set will contain 53 CDs plus two bonus discs -- a new remaster of the mono Rite of Spring (Dorati/Minneapolis) and a first-ever issue on CD of the Corigliano Piano Concerto premiere recording (Hilde Somer / Alessandro / San Antonio). So it's less than 21% not put back in print, but it's more than 10 titles. Good news, time to plan out a 3rd box set!
