This collection contains 15 original soundtrack recordings from 1947-49 which debut on CD format. All originate from Doris’s first three movies made for Warner Brothers.  The best bit about this release is the sheer professionalism and care that the label took compiling it. This site was astounded by the lavishly produced artwork, detailed liner notes and even the inclusion of a picture disc CD. The original analogue recordings may demonstrate the limited technology of the time but as a package this release sparkles!
