John Phillips “Pussycat” 302 066 903 2 (CD)

The never before released album recorded with The Rolling Stones (15 

tracks). Six tracks are previously unreleased.

This project was the last major creative effort by John Phillips before his 

drug arrest in 1980. Various original and duplicate multitrack and mix 

tapes were stored, lost and found again, and some trickled out over the 

next three decades in the form of bootlegs. As John put it, the tapes 

“had a life force of their own!” Just before his passing in 2001, John 

assembled and released an overdubbed, re-engineered and remixed 

version of some of the shelved material on an album called “Pay, Pack 

and Follow.” At the time unaware of the location of the album masters of 

the original 1978 mixes. Those original album masters were not found 

until 2003.

The original 1978 album mix is released for the first time, so here, at 

last, is the album as John originally intended it to be.

Bing Crosby

Crosby Classics: Songs From His Famous Radio Broadcasts 302 066 905 

2

The “Crosby Classics” on this album are live versions from Bing’s radio 

broadcasts.  Some of the performances are similar to the way Bing 

recorded them, sometimes he gives a song a slightly different treatment, 

and in some cases these songs feature interesting duet partners.

Features duets with The Andrews Sisters, Peggy Lee, Jane Wyman, and 

Rosemary Clooney.

Includes four tracks rarely found on any Bing Crosby collection, 

featuring live versions of Bing’s hits never before available.

Mastered from original source materials for excellent sound quality.
