It is not clear whether the CDs were first issued or just reissued in 1995. I am also unsure of the exact number of issues in this Remember The Fabulous 40's ... Music Of The (Post)War Years series. There were at least 5 cassettes, titled Stagedoor Canteen ... 1941-43, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy ... 1943-44; It's Been A Long, Long Time ... 1945; A Tree In The Meadow ... 1946-48; Mañana (Is Soon Enough For Me) ... 1948-49. In the case of the CDs, I am aware of only 4: Stagedoor Canteen ... 1941-43, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy ... 1943-44; It's Been A Long, Long Time ... 1945; and One More Time. It seems that the CDs limited the selections to the war years, adding one more disc but skipping the two postwar years issues that had come out on cassette. Complicating matters is the likelihood that these issues were probably reissued by Cema.} [2 PL vocals, or more]

Various-artists compilations:

WHY DON'T YOU DO RIGHT?
A Benny Goodman recording with a vocal by Peggy Lee. Made for Columbia Records on July 27, 1942. Original release: 1942 Columbia 78 single.
An alternate take from the July 27, 1942 session was released in a 1943 Armed Forces Radio Services radio transcription, and subsequently on a V-disc (1944). Lee's phrasing in the master and the alternate takes is different.
Two additional July 27, 1942 alternates have been issued by the Blue-Disc label in the LPs The Unheard Benny Goodman, Volume 7; 1941-1942 (1985) and The Unheard Benny Goodman, Volume 8; 1936-1955 (1986).
As a solo artist, Peggy Lee next recorded "Why Don't You Do Right?" for Capitol Records on November 19, 1947. This is the version sampled by Gramophonedzie in the 2010 hit remix single "Why Don't You." Original release: 1948 Capitol 78 album Rendezvous With Peggy Lee.
Also taped by Capitol Records at the Basin Street East supper club on February 8, 1961. This is an abbreviated version, part of a hits medley. Original release: 2002 Collectors' Choice CD Peggy At Basin Street.
Taped again by Capitol Records at the Copacabana nightclub on April 24, 1968. Not issued as of 2010, and believed to be lost.
Taped twice at London Palladium concerts that took place on March 13 and 20, 1977. First commercial releases: 1977 Polydor LP Live In London (March 13 version) and 1996 Pulse CD Fever!; The Best Of Peggy Lee, Live At The London Palladium (March 20 version).
Recorded for Chesky Records on September 8 or 9, 1992. Original release: 1993 Chesky CD Moments Like This.
Extant radio and television versions: {Details Forthcoming}.
{Note: The vast majority of the various-artists compilations listed below contain the original Columbia 78 single, although a sizable portion contains instead the 1947 Capitol recording. I have used one asterisk to mark those compilations which I know to contain the 1947 Capitol recording, two asterisks for the Chesky recording, three asterisks for the V-Disk alternate. Entries with no asterisk are generally presumed to include the Columbia recording; in many cases, I cannot go beyond an assumption because I have not actually listened to the issues in question. (Rather than the Columbia recording, a few of the compilations without asterisk may contain the V-Disc alternate, and a few more might have included the Capitol recording.)}
