Anybody looking for '40s music to use in a mod?

I've got a slew of '30s and '40s CDs - mostly are greatest hits compilations of individual band leaders (Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, etc.). I have one CD that is a comp. of Glenn Miller radio broadcasts, and another of comp. of Harry James broadcasts. That one includes the announcement of the D-Day landings (different theatre, I know, but I assume it would be reported on Pacific stations, too).

I've sorted them into folders - 1941 includes everything from 1941 plus whatever else would have been popular (from 1940, or 1936, etc.). In other words, you shouldn't hear "Opus One" in 1942 because, as far as I know, it wasn't recorded until 1944. But not everyone may be particular about that....

What I'm doing with these is to run them through Gold Wave's high-pass filter to make them sound more like they're coming out of a little box instead of being played "in the room." I may or may not do this for the broadcasts since they already have that feel to some extent. This filtered quality is really the only reason I'm asking the question - I know there are lots of WWII-era .mp3s out there.

Anyway - does anybody want these or are there more than enough sound mods already? I can post a list of song titles if that will be useful.
