I'm looking for CD box sets that tell the story of a time or an event. Examples would be:
Atomic Platters - Cold War Music from the Golden Age of Homeland Security; ..Next Stop Is Vietnam - The War on Record - 1961 - 2008; Battleground Korea - Songs and Sounds of America's Forgotten War; Let Freedom Sing - The Music of the Civil Rights Movement; Songs For Political Action - Folk Music And The American Left 1926-1953; Songs of the Depression; Spain in My Heart - Songs of the Spanish Civil War
I'd appreciate any recommendations for others, especially any non-USian comps. I find these very enjoyable to listen to, both as sources for little-known (to me) tunes and performers and for the popular-culture take on big events and movements.
