A three-disc set of every instrumental song that ever charted in 1961. The second in a volume of a series we've covered before.
Various Artists, David Merrick Presents Hits from His Broadway Hits (RCA Victor/Masterworks Broadway)
Ann-Margret joins John Gary and the Merrill Staton Voices in this vintage tribute to the legendary impresario behind such musicals as Hello, Dolly! and Gypsy.
Diana Ross, Diana Ross: Deluxe Edition (Hip-o Select/Motown)
The latest set from Select is a heavy-duty expansion of Miss Ross' 1976 album, which featured "Theme from 'Mahogany' (Do You Know Where You're Going To?)" and "Love Hangover," two classic singles from a classic career. Alternate mixes, rare singles and early versions abound on this set.
