Broadway in a Box

Four CD collection of classics by the actress/singer who has been called America's Sweetheart and the Girl Next Door. Features 109 tracks including 'Amapoloa (Pretty Little Poppy)', 'We'll Be Together Again', 'My Darling My Darling','It's Magic', 'Powder Your Face with Sunshine', '(There's A) Bluebird on Your Windowsill', 'Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think' and many many more.

This 2012 collection of 69 songs on three discs is truly awesome! All songs were mastered from the original Columbia recordings and sound great. Since this collection spans her career (recordings from the 40's, 50's and 60's), a special kudos must go out to the unlisted balance engineer; a very smooth and even run! Classic track after classic track, like The Very Thought Of You (1950), Dream A Little Dream Of Me (1957), Sentimental Journey (1945), It's Magic (1948) and Happy Talk (1961) to name a few. The first eight tracks on Disc #3 are from her great film role, "Calamity Jane," in which she overwhelmed Howard Keel, who was nobody's idea of a second fiddle.

Blue Note released a five CD anniversary collection in 1989. Uncertain if these were sold individually or in a box set or both.

18 original albums in one box with some of the greatest names in Jazz incl. Miles Davis, Chet Baker, and Oscar Peterson. The greatest Broadway musicals of all time - from "Porgy & Bess" to "West Side Story" - in fantastic Jazz arrangements. Also featuring hidden gems like "Do-Re-Mi" by June Christy and Bob Cooper or Blossom Dearie "Sings Comden & Green".

When Sony/Columbia began its ambitious Legacy reissue project, those who followed their jazz titles knew it was only a question of time before the massive Billie Holiday catalog under their ownership would see the light in its entirety. The question was how? Years before there was a host of box sets devoted to her material, but the sound on those left something to be desired. Would they remaster the material in two- or three-disc sets with additional notes? Would it be one disc at a time? Would the material be issued as budget or midline material or at full price? The last item could be ruled out based on the label's aggressive and very thorough packages of single discs by Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, and others.
