Thirty years after his death, the man known as "Duke" still ranks among the Top Three most popular American film stars of all time. More than any other actor, he chose roles that glorified traditional American values and would not compromise his personal image.

That was John Wayne, and that's the John Wayne celebrated here in the music and poster art from his many memorable western movies. -- This 10 CD/1 DVD collection contains the rousing soundtracks of his best-loved westerns, including "The Searchers", "The Alamo", "The Sons Of Katie Elder" and "True Grit".

My goodness, what a size of a thing! I imagine stuff like CHISUM and CAHILL must be lifted directly from the films. THE COWBOYS, here, looks like it has more cues than the Varese CD! Bring it on!

I just got the latest Bear Family catalog in the mail. What an awesome company! Their releases are just filled to overflowing with incredible graphics and top notch design -- and the sonics on the releases that I have are superb. Great, great stuff.

I've been buying Bear Family Records products for years and they are definitely "top notch" especially their box sets. This looks like a release I'd like to have in my collection. I may wait until my upcoming trip to London and pick it up in the Oxford Street HMV and save myself the postage!

Bear Family's done some spectacular sets for artists like The Kingston Trio (both the Guard and Stewart eras), Doris Day, and Dean Martin, and about eleventeen hundred country artists from the 1950s. A wonderful label; their Frankie Laine "On the Trail" CDs are a treasured part of my collection. I have two Tex Ritter sets, Blood On The Saddle and High Noon, and also the Johnny Western box set, Heroes And Cowboys. I also have the Frankie Lane release you mention "On The Trail" all are well worth having.

It looks like a lot of this is dialogue and somehow I get the feeling that much of this (if not all) is not legitimately licensed. It even seems to have tracks from the Cowboys illegitimate LP from way back. As tempting as it appears, beware.
