Doug's note: this set retails for $30+ which is a turnoff for some fans, particularly since there is overlap with tracks on other Taragon releases. A better marketing move might have been to release Swing on a single CD (as was done in Germany) with bonus tracks which didn't appear on other Taragon CDs.
