confranfan SUBS 29th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Connie Francis - Connie Francis In Deutschland (1988)	BEAR FAMILY RECORDS GMBH release BEAR FAMILY RECORDS/POLYDOR label The above release is the most ambitious vinyl product to be found in her catalog. Appearing on an ingeniously designed YELLOW/BLACK label so as to resemble original MGM records, the Bear Family logo is placed on top center in the position once occupied by Metro's famous lion, and that of Polydor within a solid black bar like M-G-M of the forties and fifties. The 8-LP boxed set features 133 selections, more than 20 of which had never before been released, and is the definitive German language collection. As well as the German tracks, the set also includes the few cut by Connie in Swedish and Dutch. A unique aspect of this release is that it contains every 1960-1968 MGM recording in German, the 1970 titles cut specifically for Polydor in Germany, 1978 United Artists overdubs, 1978 independent German sessions and 1982 independent German sessions. Each album is contained in a different full color picture sleeve, matching in design liners of which provide reproductions of picture sleeves to original singles, album covers and photographs of the period. The set also comes with a 112-page book titled CONNIE FRANCIS IN DEUTCHLAND/HOLLAND & SCHWEDEN, which has been given its own "number" of BFP 10012 and is crammed with rare pictures, articles, chronological details of German recording sessions, discography of German language LP/CD releases and alphabetical listing and release history of each individual title. Individual albums are numbered BFX 15305-1 through BFX 15308-8, but spine of box inexplicably lists overall number as BFX 15305[9].
