RARE BING CROSBY HISTORICAL SOCIETY – 8 RECORD COLLECTION

Offered here is an unusual group of 8 Bing Crosby Historical Society privately issued tribute records, complete with their original illustrated sleeves and historical information/liner notes.

These were special collector issues produced by the Bing Crosby Historical Society and contain recordings selected from private collections, including unusual radio performances and material that the Society's original notes describe as previously unavailable on commercial records.

LOT INCLUDES:

4 × “A Tribute to Bing” – Tribute Record No. 2
Bing Crosby Historical Society Limited Souvenir Edition.

The accompanying Society notes discuss four selections, including:

• “Anthem of the Clams” – composed by Bing Crosby and James Van Heusen
• “I’ve Got A Girl” – historic 1926 recording featuring Bing Crosby and Al Rinker; described in the notes as Bing’s first recording appearance
• “Why Do I Like You” – 1945 recording made for fundraising purposes
• “It Might As Well Be Spring” – Bing Crosby with George Burns

4 × Tribute Record No. 4

Original illustrated Bing Crosby/pipe sleeves by Thompson, with accompanying Society information sheets.

Selections discussed in the original notes include:

• “When That Midnight Choo-Choo Leaves for Alabam”
• “Let That Be a Lesson to You”
• “Man, A Woman” – Bing Crosby & Rosemary Clooney
• “Daddy, Dear Old Daddy” – Bing Crosby & Bob Hope

These are 33⅓ RPM collector EP records, not ordinary mass-market Bing Crosby releases.

All 8 records include their corresponding vintage Bing Crosby Historical Society sleeves/inserts as pictured.

The duplication is intentional: four copies each of Tribute No. 2 and Tribute No. 4 are included.
