It was back in 1993 when the renown German record label Bear Family took up the challenge to re-issue every single solo recording Doris Day made whilst she was signed to Columbia Records.

This of course spanned a 20 year period covering 1947 to 1967. To say that this was an ambitious project would have been an understatement but gradually from 1994-1997 they achieved their goal also benefitting from the assistance of both Doris Day and her son, Terry Melcher.

Notably, these definitive boxset also include many unreleased songs and alternate takes that had never before been issued on CD. Of course they also show case all of Doris's classic solo singles and album recordings making this a total indulgence for any fan of her music. Each boxset also includes a luxurious hard-back book which chronologically charts her career through extensive biographical notes, discography listings and a wealth of photo/movie/magazine/record sleeve pictures.
