The Sawallisch Beethoven is available on Brilliant Classics and Kempe's is currently being reissued in EMI's Red Line series. I agree that the Jochum set would have made a fine set for a tenner."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink

Perhaps we're being ungrateful? Sony and EMI are both releasing a huge amount of archive material at low price, some of which (Jochum Beethoven, Stoki Mahler 2, Tennstedt Live Mahler 6-7) has been long unavailable.
This is net better for the consumer than the old way. Imagine the Jochum Beethoven and Brahms being split across 4 twofers - would have cost the same as the entire 20 CD set!
