2010 is certainly turning out to be Der Bingle's year on the CD and DVD front. Earlier
this year there were six CD releases from Collectors' Choice as well as the two-DVD
set "The Television Specials, Volume One" from Infinity. It appears that Collectors'
Choice has some more CDs in the works, and on DVD there's the following musical documentary
(recently shown on PBS), a set of six Paramount films (all but one of them new to
DVD), and another set of TV specials:

the catalog numbers, which suggests they're CCM "exclusives") are "Christmas Sessions,"
"Southern Memoir," "Sings the Sinatra Songbook," and "Bing Crosby/Rosemary Clooney
Radio Sessions":
