This is the second CD instalment of Doris's
radio shows from the early 1950s, courtesy of the
British music label, Zone Records. Volume 2 indulges us to many more magical moments
from Doris's time on American radio station CBS. As
per the first volume, the new CD set contains a
total of four full-length shows. These have nothing
edited out, therefore giving today's listener the
same experience to that of its original audience. The recording techniques of the time
do have some flaws
but have been painstakingly restored to ensure that
they sound as crisp and as clear as is possible (taking into account these limitations).

This series of CDs
offers Doris Day collectors a golden opportunity to
own star-studded duets and other solo
performances of songs which are not
available anywhere else. My favourite rarities on
this latest release are the pretty duets with
American singer and actor Gordon MacRae.
Having just played
both CDs from start to
finish I am pleased to tell you all that Zone
Records have delivered yet another 1st class
product. The set is comprised of two full colour picture
disc CDs as well as an 8-page booklet of detailed liner
notes and rare photographs.
