Released: March 10, 2003

Universal presents Classics & Collectibles, the first double-disc anthology of Peggy’s Decca recordings in nearly a decade. Like the Black Coffee and Other Delights collection released in 1994, Classics & Collectibles offers a survey of Peggy’s mid-1950s hits and standards, as well as songs she sang in five films: The Jazz Singer, Johnny Guitar, Pete Kelly’s Blues, The Racers, and Lady and the Tramp. It also includes a generous assortment of Peggy’s rarest recordings from 1952-56; 18 songs (indicated by asterisks below) make their first appearance on CD in any country, and over a dozen more are relatively rare to CD.
