Customer Reviews

 
Over thirty years of Peggy’s sensational music Rating: 5.0

This set is one of the best-presented boxed sets I’ve come across. There are extensive notes, a discography, pictures of LP sleeves and other pictures too. The set opens like a hardback book, with the CD’s on the inside of the front and back covers. The music is dominated by her years on Capitol (especially the 1940’s), but begins with three tracks from her Benny Goodman days, followed by two with Bob Crosby. What can a woman do? (track 6 on CD 1) is the first time we hear Peggy’s own music, but the rest of that CD and the other three CD’s concentrate entirely on her studio singles, up to Some cats know (1975), her last new single. Senza fine, a Japanese single in 2001 that was originally recorded in 1964, plus five studio out-takes, including false starts and rehearsals, complete the set.
Even on 4 CD’s, it is not possible to include all Peggy’s singles, but it is clear that a serious effort has been made to include singles which had not been previously available on CD – there are almost fifty of them, plus one song, Moments like this, which was going to be a single but was never released. Live and album versions of the song have been previously released, but the original single version is available here for the first time ever.

Of the previously released material, the most obvious omission is Riders in the sky, which was an American number two hit for Peggy in 1949, but this is readily available on other compilations. All the tracks that are absolutely essential – Manana, The folks who live on the hill, Fever and Is that all there is? – are included. Black coffee was never released as a single, so does not qualify.

This is a cleverly compiled set which is designed to include as much as possible for Peggy’s committed fans who have a lot of her CD’s already (I have over 20), while making it an attractive purchase for somebody who just wants one big collection of Peggy’s music.
