Here's a great way to celebrate your love for our country, even during these challenging times. It’s a 4-CD collection of best-loved songs that celebrate the glory of America and being an American. Chock filled with 75 tracks, performed by popular artists, this is the perfect box set for the vet or service member in your family.

Condition: Gently Used
CDs and jewel case are in very good shape. Guaranteed to play.

You get rousing selections of "Battle Hymm of the Republic" "Anchor's Aweigh" "The Battle Cry of Freedom"... Kate Smith singing "God Bless America", James Cagney's rendition of "You're a Grand Old Flag", and Johnny Mercer's "GI Jive".... (see complete tracklist below)

These songs celebrate the American Spirit and are the greatest Patriotic songs ever collected in one package. Performed here by many well-known artists... The Weavers, Eddy Arnold, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Vera Lynn, the Andrew Sisters and many more.

Comes with a 24-page booklet with informative notes on each track.

Family and friends will wonder where you got such a treasure trove of beloved classics when you play these CDs at your Fourth of July gatherings or GI Homecomings. They're crowd-pleasers for sure, but you'll find the songs are just as effective when you listen to them on your own, whether you're puttering around the house on a Sunday afternoon or taking time off to reflect on Memorial or Veterans Days. I even play my personal copy of this on Flag Day!


This 4 CD set retailed for over 40$ when it was first offered by Reader's Digest Music. But now, it's out-of-print. This is a rare opportunity to add this one-of-a-kind treasure to your music library. Securely packaged in a multi-CD jewel case box. Don't let this comprehensive collection pass you by.

Wow. We can't say enough about this terrific collection! High quality tracks from the Reader's Digest Music group. This makes a great gift for anyone who's served their country!

Why We Love CDs:
We love audio CDs! We love having a hard, physical copy of our media. It's scary how many of our friends have lost their precious music libraries to computer hard-drive crashes - or lost/broken mp3 players. It's heartbreaking. And while we love the convenience of digital music files... it's re-assuring to know that, up on the shelf, we have a back-up copy in the form of a physical disc. One that comes with a protective jewel case, artwork, all tracks, and sometimes even liner notes. Purchasing physical CDs is simple insurance that you'll stay in touch with your old friends for years to come!

Thanks for stopping by with Old Friends! Check out our other great CD sets.
