Bon je connais 198 sur les 223 morceaux, je vais quand même pas payer le Coffret sur Amazon au prix fort pour me procurer les 25 qui me sont inconnus.

En tout cas beau pack colorimetrique.

J'avais pour seule règle: un seul morceau par artiste (sauf en cas de carrière groupe et solo). Et aussi, chaque fois j'ai pris le premier morceau qui me plaît vraiment de chaque artiste, en suivant la chronologie (et en prenant soin par ailleurs de ne pas doublonner avec quelques autres compiles que je m'étais déjà faites auparavant).

Ce qui m'a surpris en réécoutant les CDs, c'est à quel point les enregistrements des années 50 sonnent mieux (en CD, du moins) que ceux des décennies suivantes. Le CD 2 sonne super bien aux enceintes (j'étais épaté, car je fais mes choix en écoutant au casque, et l'effet est différent).
