The Unforgettable Glenn Miller

The Unforgettable Glenn Miller album that was certified Platinum by the RIAAwas the 1968 release on Reader's Digest. You have the wrong album listed. The 1977 album of the same name is a different album. The RIAA specifically noted that the Platinum Award went to the Reader's Digest version.

Tanks for clarifying that, but as the FAQs mention (and the text on the individual song pages make clear) with this type of consolidation it is hard to differentiate two items with the same name (be they songs, artists or albums)

I have a 5 record set of Glen Miller and his orchestra, Limited Edition,volume 1. +I have been trying to find a value on this set.Its from The Gramophone Company Limited (Record Division) 8-11 Gt. Castle St. London. It says Record Library series LP599. +The first recording was in April 1939, and the last one was recorded in January 1942. +Can you direct me to a site to find the value of these albums, can you tell me the value? +Thank you.
