I don't suffer from Mahleria, but at this price I'd get infected.

That is a remarkably uninformative listing for one that Amazon is
offering on its own hook. None of the Marketplace Sellers are more
informative either. Looks like ArchivMusic doesn't have it, so that
source of details ain't there.

Thanks for posting this.
I wonder if the transfers are any good. They've got good taste -- this
is basically an anthology of the best-regarded early (i.e. public
domain) Mahler performances.
I can't think of any candidates for 3 and 7, the only 6 they might
have included was F. Charles Adler.

If Adler for 6, why not also for 3? Have to agree with you about 7, though, until
Bernstein I becomes "historical," anyway :-) Scherchen would count, but the
performance is just awful, imo.

I collected virtually all of Membran's jazz series (in the tall book
thingy format that holds 2 CDs) and found the sound generally very good,
from the 1920s up to the 1980s and beyond. Maybe their Mahler is good
too, for the vintage, but I generally don't do historical orchestral
stuff. The early Walter Mahler interests me however, and I could be tempted.

Adler's 6 would've been ok, but better the live Rosbaud. And for that
matter, Rosbaud or Scherchen in 7. I would take either of those as
worthy beside the other equally historic recordings they included.

Yes, of course Rosbaud for 7; it holds up well to this day (and is the template
for Gielen's excellent recording). I've never understood the affection for any of
Scherchen's Mahler except for his wild "Resurrection," which I love.

I searched before posting, and didn't find it. Perhaps the set has
been discontinued.

Membran and Tim are the same company I believe? I assume they're
mostly
copies of other labels' transfers, for better or worse. Comparing
their Mitropolous/Minnesota
Mahler 1st with Sony Masterworks' version would be interesting. I'm
glad to have some of these
boxes, e.g. the Barbirolli and Stokowski.

Let me recommend the Ormandy box as well. It's a more interesting, and
cheaper, collection than the recent Original Jackets box.

While I think the OP's an over-estimation of the Abravanel performances
in general, a couple of the performances--the 2nd, and especially the
4th--are quite fine. Netania Davrath sings the Finale of the 4th about
as well as it has ever been done, and the rest of the performance is
excellent as well.
Here's Hurwitz's take (less contentious than is sometimes the case):
