    Andy Williams signed to Cadence Records in December 1955 and recorded the eight albums in this box set ( ('Sings Steve Allen', 'Andy Williams', 'Sings Rodgers & Hammerstein', 'Two Time Winners', 'To You Sweetheart, Aloha', 'Lonely Street', 'The Village of St Bernadette' and 'Under Paris Skies' Skies') before he moved on to Columbia Records in 1961 . Aside from 'Andy Williams' (a collection of singles), the albums all have a theme , from the songs of Steve Allen and Rodgers & Hammerstein , to Hawaii and Paris , via albums of religious songs and laments.
    These early albums showcase Andy's peerless voice, demonstrating his ability to make any song his own. Featured are his first hit singles , "Canadian Sunset", "I Like Your Kind Of Love" and " Butterfly", while the 'Under Paris Skies' album features fabulous arrangements by a 27 year old Quincy Jones .
    Presented in facsimiles of the original classic 1950s and 60s album sleeves, the 111 track set also includes FIFTEEN BONUS TRACKS of non album singles A and B sides. The 28 page booklet includes all the original liner notes from the sleeves , as well as annotation by Alan Robinson.
