Didn't notice this mentioned anywhere in the forum, sorry if I've missed it. The Bing Sings Sinatra Songbook and The Bing & Rosemary Radio Recordings CDs are on itunes for digital downloading.

"Some scenes one could only see the hair line - no nose, eyes, lips"

- ???  Not quite sure what you mean. Mine has no quality issues whatsoever. I can certainly see the faces, to be sure! Maybe your player is the wrong region. 


"Quite a number of the songs from the 7 set Mosaic I have on LP and also Barry Whittingham issued some CD's of "Bing and Buddy on radio', so how did these come about when Mosaic state only about 16 songs had been issued previously"

- They mean legitimate releases. THe sound quality of the Mosaic set is far and away better than anything previosly released, legally or illegally, from those sessions.

Artistic Legacy » Gary Giddins in TCM's Moguls and Movie Stars » 23/11/2010 7:16 am

Has anyone been watching this series on TCM about the history of movies? Bing's biographer Gary Giddins appeared in the chapter on the Great Depression last night, talking about Bing's huge popularity in films as reflected in his success at the box office. Bing was singled out as the most successful of radio personalities who went into the movies.

New and Re-issued materials » DVD of Bing Christmas Specials + Bonus CD » 22/11/2010 10:25 pm

I was looking for the best price for this DVD set and saw Amazon.com was selling the DVD's plus a bonus CD of Bing's Christmas music for less than the DVD alone. I'd guess they'd have to honor the lower price, though they seem to be out of stock at the moment. It was listed at $12.99 a few weeks back, and though I didn't order until the price had gone up to $17.99, my online order info indicates that they will charge me only 12.99 when they re-stock. (I DON'T work for Amazon btw - just passing info along). Cheers!
