So much negative assumption about the 3rd volume!!!  Why assume that it hasn't already been written?!?
It's entirely possible that Mr. Giddins finished writing the entire book and was asked to split it into a 2nd and 3rd volume by the publisher.  Better to release a 600-page book than a 1,500-page one.  If that's the case, Volume 3 will follow within a year or two.  

I'd like to add that between the Mosaic box and the subsequent 10 CCM/iTunes releases, a full 90% of the Buddy Cole tracks are now available in pristine sound.  That's quite an accomplishment.  On the downside, it doesn't appear that these 10 releases are available for digital download.  I don't normally download music, but I'm certainly not going to pay 10 bucks for the Dixieland CD, for example, to buy 1 song.

My 4th posting today... hope you're not sick of me yet!

I am working on building my own Access database for cataloguing my Bing/Frank/Ella/Doris/Rosemary/Peggy/Dean/Nat/Mel collection.  I'm going to be using a lot of the information on the discography and the songography on the ICC's website.  Is either available in an .xls document (or other format)?  Would make my data entry easier if I could format the data to my liking.  If not, I totally understand.  Doesn't hurt to ask.
Thanks from rainy Vancouver,

Hi again!
A lot of Bing's music has been released recently on CD and I'm wondering if anyone has a list of what has NOT yet been released.  I could stumble through creating such a list on my own, but I thought I'd ask if anyone has this info at their fingertips.

The Decca recordings are covered by the Sepia and Jonzo series, a bunch of the latter-day LP's are covered by the recent CCM releases, the Mosaic box covers a good chunk of the Buddy Cole recordings.  The list is (happily) getting smaller and smaller.

To make the list even smaller and easier, I'm not too concerned about the LP's, such as That's What Life Is All About, etc.  They're easy enough to document.  I'm more interested in having a list of non-LP studio tracks, post-Decca.

Feel free to direct me to Jarbie's discography.  Just thought I'd ask you guys and girls first.

Thanks,
Greg

PS- and as for what's available on CD, I'm referring to CD's that are current and easily available online.  If a song is available on some obscure British CD from 20 years ago, I consider it M.I.A. and it qualifies for my list.

Hi everyone
I'm in love with my Mosaic boxed set and I'd like to collect the rest of the Buddy Cole recordings,  From reading thru the discography, the balance of these recordings are scattered across many, many CDs.  So, short of going thru the discography line by line, is there an easier way to collate a list of all the CD's I need to buy?  I'm looking for a list of CD's, each indicating the number of recordings contained therein that are NOT on the Mosaic set.

For example:
On the Sentimental Side (4)
Shall We Dance (iTunes only) (12)
etc.
etc.

I'd also like to know how many are still in the vault and not available on any CD.

Thanks so much!
