Having said that (see post above), I noticed this Primary Wave album, released on Spotify on July 10th: 'Bing Crosby - Georgia on my mind'. Contents: 1 Georgia on my mind 2 Stars fell on Alabama 3 Way down yonder in New Orleans 4 She's the sunshine of Virginia 5 Crying for the carolines 6 Sleepy time down south 7 On the Alamo (Alternate version) 8 Alabamy bound 9 Where the morning glories grow 10 Carolina in the morning 11 Swanee 12 Sailing down the Chesapeake Bay 13 Bing's South Texas Quail Hunting Medley: Galway Bay / Mack the Knife / The surrey with the fringe on top 14 The yellow rose of Texas 15 Carolina in the morning (1956) 16 She's the sunshine of Virginia (1943) 17 Alabamy bound w Lindsay Crosby (Minute Maid show 1949) 18 When the midnight choo choo leaves for Alabam 19 Mississippi mud / I left my sugar standing in the rain w Harry Barris, Al Rinker (Chase and Sandborn show 1943) 20 Call of the south - w Gary Crosby (Take 1)
 

I see that there are now five albums in the 'Bing Crosby sings and swings' series (I guess it is a series now). Three albums of 'Bing Crosby sings and swings love songs', another one 'sings and swings Hawaiian' and the fifth 'sings and swings latin'. Nothing new, as far as I could see. However, I am still hoping for something new - one day!

Another wonderful Sepia CD to look forward to. :-)
 

Thanks very much for the listing of the track details; very helpful. I just noticed that all the tracks are available on YouTube. Maybe not in the best possible sound quality, but anyway, they are available for everybody, whether you have access to (paid) streaming media or not.

Wonderful! Thank you for the link!

I was pleasantly suprised when I re-listened to Bing's interpretation of Stormy Weather. I for one would love to see these songs from 1965-1968 released in a remastered version.

 

Thank you very much for your kind offer! I've send an email.

Another nice video. It's good, I think, to see Bing Crosby involved in this trend of recent years.
 

The Emperor Waltz was also released on bluray in France - you can see it for instance on Amazon.fr if you like. It would be interesting to see a comparison of the American and French releases.
 

This could be very good news for Bing Crosby fans and collectors. I hope that next to the streaming platforms there will also be some CD's and/or Blu Rays/DVD's. And I do hope they will release some of those 'many unissued recordings', of course!

My copy has arrived. Thank you, Malcolm, for another wonderful edition of BING Magazine!

What a great find, Greg and Malcolm! While I know of radio programmes where a disc got played more than once by an enthousiastic announcer, I have never heard or seen an encore asked for and performed live on tv. Another Crosby first?

Thanks for spotting this on YouTube and the extra background information!

Thank you Malcolm (and Graham). I have been listening to the first four shows of this series already. They are wonderful!
