This 4 disc CD set has EVERYTHING Peter Sellers did on record.....well mostly. My only complaint is the omission of his version of "She Loves You" done in the style of 'Dr. Strangelove'. WHY would they leave that off when EVERYTHING ELSE is there??? Then again, we DO get 3 'other' versions of 'She Loves You', so it sort of makes up for it.
GREAT photos [one of the best is with Sophia, Peter and producer George Martin!] and original EMI/Parlophone sleeve art.
Peter Sellers, like it or not, was most-likely the funniest, versatile & hippest comedian ever! Like he said of himself as Harold Fine [in the film 'I LOVE YOU, ALICE B. TOKLAS'-1968]; "Listen -- I'm probably the HIPPEST guy around here!!"
In 1980 we lost two great entertainers; Peter Sellers & John Lennon.

This CD Box is a must for every Peter Sellers' fan. It Contains 4 CDs and a marvellous booklet with some rare pictures. Some of the CD tracks are absolutely unfindble, even in Internet.

These 4 CD's are a masterpiece of the brilliant work that Peter Sellers left to posterity. He was a very funny but brilliant man..

The third CD of the Peter Sellers collection has songs sung in collaboration with the sultry siren herself, Sophia Loren. Some of the songs listed do not even have Peter singing (To keep my love alive). These songs are all comedies, and sometimes Sophia breaks out laughing, sounding playful, self conscious and flirtatious all at the same time.

My parents had a vinyl album with those songs on it, and I listened and liked them from about age 12 on. I have not heard most of the songs on the other CDs, but if the quality is similar, these songs would be good to have if you are interested in comedic songs or celebrity singing. Peter Sellers has a good voice, but not a great one.
