These are such nice releases -

This looks like a great combination of albums. I am quite excited by all these re-issues we are getting. For those of us who appreciated the good old days and just cannot relate much to current music trends, some of these are real treasures.

Thanks for the heads up. I will be picking this one up.

I bought this one a few years back for a nice price so will not be getting this. I will be missing the bonus tracks tho.Attachment 19040

Did I read somewhere that this new 4 on 2 set was delayed?

Funkytown Grooves have released quite a few Mathis album from the 1970's as two-fers. Great quality in reissue. I gravitate a lot to these 1970's Mathis releases because I just love his voice from that period.

I've seen where many of his albums got the deluxe treatment. Johnny Mathis is to be celebrated always. His version of Begin The Beguine is outstanding. No one like him, the man can sing anything.
