Any music fan -- regardless of style -- would appreciate the completeness of this new box set, Made in New Orleans. In addition to the CD and DVD of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band that are the true centerpiece of the package, the set also boasts numerous additional memorabilia items from New Orleans and the history of Preservation Hall. And on top of that, each package is unique, with a sticker on the cellophane touting that no two sets are alike.  I had clipped an article from the Times-Picayune about this box set a couple of weeks back, but while browsing my local brick-and-mortar shop, I saw it on the shelf and knew I had to own it, if only for the collectible value, if not for the music and support it gives to New Orleans. So, here is an item-by-item detailing of everything in the box I purchased at Silver Platters today.
