Listening to this now and most of the tracks, I believe, are on the Mosaic box set. The Bing Crosby CBS Radio Recordings 1954-56. [/url] "Pledging My Love" & "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" I believe both appear on [url= ]So Rare: Treasures From The Crosby Archive and "Born To Be With You" is on the digital album With All My Heart.
At least these are the albums that I have the tracks on already. I think if you don't own the CBS Boxset and have no plans on purchasing, this is a nice package as it offers you 17 tracks that from that collection.

It is an especially nice package considering said Mosiac box isn’t on streaming, so now new listeners can get acquainted with some of those recordings.
Here’s just a bit more comprehensive tracing of what has been available before for referencing if need be.

16 tracks brand new to streaming ain’t bad for a release like this. I wonder if those Barnes/Moore overdubs will ever get a streaming release, some are very well done I feel.

“ Bing Crosby sets his sights on Valentine’s Day, pulling back Cupid’s bow to deliver a new 20-track album, A Valentine From Bing, out now through Primary Wave via Green Hill/Virgin distribution.
One of the 20th century’s greatest multi-media stars, Crosby was integral in the development of audio recordings, motion pictures, and radio broadcasting — a legacy carried on today through his Estate and Primary Wave, which continue to grow his presence using new technology to reach new audiences.
The perfect soundtrack for the next big rom-com, A Valentine from Bing delivers timeless tunes for any occasion, whether listeners are celebrating Valentine’s Day or just craving some classic crooning. 15 of the album’s 20 tracks have never before been released to DSPs and are now available to stream for the first time.
The Crosby Estate marks the occasion with some bonus love in the form of a music video for “Dream A Little Dream Of Me,” out today, featuring vintage family photos of Bing and his beloved wife Kathryn Crosby.
“Seeing those photos of me and Bing so beautifully put together brings back wonderful memories of a very special time,” says Kathryn. “He’s still my Valentine.”
SiriusXM will run a limited time “Valentine’s Day Special” episode from Feb. 11 – Feb. 25 as a part of “Crosby’s Corner,” Bing’s Weekly show on SXM’s 40’s Junction Channel (CH71). The special will premiere on CH 71 on Sat. 2/11 5pm ET, with encores 2/12 8pm ET, and Valentine’s Day 2/14 at Noon ET. The episode will also be available to stream on the SXM App from Feb. 11 – Feb. 25.
Crosby’s next album, Bing Crosby’s Irish Songbook, a collection of unreleased Irish Folk songs, is slated for release on March 10th leading into the St. Patrick’s Day holiday.

I applaud that this album may interest younger audience, but I would love the opportunity to download the songs to create my own CD of the album. I am still one of the dinosaurs that like a physical album from time to time.
