Year: 1968 / Volumes: 2 / Tracks: 19 / Note: As indicated in the subtitle, this issue contains two LPs in one package. These two LPs were also sold separately.

Album Covers Shown:

7 & 8. The shown items are not twofers, but they are related to the twofered albums which were just discussed. Image #7 shows the 8-track edition of Once More With Feeling. (It may have included the original artwork. If it did, the copy on display had the artwork peeled off.) Image #7 shows the 8-track edition of Broadway Ala Lee. Most likely, cartridge editions of I've Got The World On A String and The Folks Who Live On The Hill were also issued, but at the present time I am lacking confirmation of their existence.

Ten tracks were chosen from each of the three albums.

Year: 1992 / Tracks: 24 / Note: At Peggy Lee's request, this issue was cancelled in the United States after it had already been manufactured. In Europe, a small pressing appears to have been commercially issued. The very few copies that circulate are thus promos and European pressings. Shown here are the booklet's front cover, the back sleeve of the CD, and the booklet's back cover -- in that order. For commentary about the reported reason for the cancellation, read notes under this 1992 issue in the CD Index.
