First of all, congratulations, assembling the full 51-CD Chronological Bing Crosby set is a worthwhile accomplishment, and a dream for every collector. These days, CDs have fallen out of popularity even faster than they replaced cassette tapes or vinyl. New cars don’t even come with CD players anymore. It’s sad to see any belovedformat fading, but Internet archiving is the future. Many people from yougner generations are much more at ease with digital accesing music than obtaining hard copies of cds.Having the entire Chronological Bing Crosby set preserved in the Internet Archives, is a great way to preserve Bing's recorded legacy for the benefit of newer generations. Since I don’t have a full set myself, I’m absolutely delighted to be able to hear it this way. Thank you again for doing this!

I figured it would be best to do this instead of uploading clips to YouTube - getting that lossless CD quality out there is lovely.

Thanks!  A great resource, and it's incentivized me to stop listening to the same favorite recordings on repeat.  Hearing the different takes is really interesting, too.

This is an amazing project and service you did. I always wanted to do it, but never had the time to do so.
AMAZING and thank you!

Yes they have extensive liner notes and detailed information on the recordings including the dates and where it was recorded,what record label it was on and plenty of photos.

Even better Ian - you can look at the liner notes at that link! They’re wonderful, I love referring to them along with The Crosby Collection books.

Thank you very much indeed. I've now properly signed up to "Internet Archive". Apologies for not being terribly observant but are you able to tell me which precise heading I need to click on (and where about on the page it is) to access the liner notes, please? 

Thank you very much. I'm sure I'll work it out. Congratulations on all this, again.
