The 4-CD box set - available exclusively as a "thank you" gift to Public Television donors - has been curated by David Lawrence and is thematically arranged by disc. It features highlights from Steve and Eydie's vibrant discography from their early days at ABC-Paramount and United Artists through their halcyon period at Columbia Records, subsequent classics for Calendar, RCA, and MGM, and favorites from their own Stage 2 and GL Music labels.

CD 1, Duet Classics, spans decades - from Steve and Eydie's first signature song (Steve Allen's "This Could Be the Start of Something Big") through such warm, latter-day favorites as "That's What Friends Are For" and "Through the Years." Along the way, the disc presents timeless standards from Broadway and Hollywood (including "For Once in Your Life" from the couple's own Broadway musical, Golden Rainbow) and further highlights including the delightful Goffin/King confection "I Want to Stay Here" and Eurovision pop hit "Hallelujah." CD 2, Steve Classics, offers a look at his own multi-faceted discography, opening with his earliest AM radio favorites for ABC-Paramount and UA ("Pretty Blue Eyes," "Footsteps," "Portrait of My Love") and continuing with his signature solo tunes "Go Away Little Girl" and "I've Gotta Be Me," and definitive performances of beloved standards such as "More" (in a fresh remix), "In the Still of the Night," and "My Heart Stood Still." As a special bonus, this disc includes two rarities: a previously unreleased rendition of Leslie Bricusse's "You and I" from the musical film Goodbye, Mr. Chips; and the CD debut of Steve's 1969 sunshine pop delight "The Drifter" written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols and newly remixed for this release.

CD 3, Eydie Classics, takes a similar look at her remarkable discography including the Grammy-winning "If He Walked Into My Life" from Jerry Herman's score to Mame; "What Did I Have That I Don't Have" from Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane's On a Clear Day You Can See Forever; and Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil's sparkling "Blame It on the Bossa Nova," a top ten hit for Eydie in 1963. The fourth disc of The Ultimate Collection returns Steve and Eydie to the Great White Way. Broadway Classics rounds up even more of the showtunes that the couple made their own, from playful duets ("An Old-Fashioned Wedding" from Annie Get Your Gun, "The Honeymoon Is Over" from I Do! I Do!) to solos from each. The disc features a mini-suite of songs from Stephen Sondheim, beginning with Eydie's velvety "Small World" from Sondheim and Jule Styne's score to Gypsy and continuing with selections from Anyone Can Whistle (Steve's rapturous "With So Little to Be Sure Of"), Company (Eydie's brassy "The Ladies Who Lunch" and the CD debut of Steve's moving "Being Alive"), A Little Night Music (Eydie's "Send in the Clowns"), and back to Gypsy for "Together, Wherever We Go."

The audio for the 4-CD box set has been newly mastered by Eric Boulanger at The Bakery. A 24-page booklet designed by John Sellards accompanies the release, boasting numerous rare and previously unpublished photos of the artists as well as comprehensive liner notes from The Second Disc's Joe Marchese.

Additionally, Public Television stations will be offering another special exclusive: a limited-edition single CD packaged as a mini-LP album.

Many of these vintage recordings are premiering here in stereo including Steve's "Don't Be Afraid, Little Darlin'," "Poor Little Rich Girl," and "Walking Proud" from the original three-track masters plus "Party Doll" and "Poinciana" as well as Eydie's "I Want You to Meet My Baby," "Love Me Forever," "Mama, Teach Me How to Dance," and "You Need Hands," as well as the duo's "I Can't Stop Talking About You." This disc concludes with the CD premiere of Steve and Eydie's affecting 1980s rendition of Jerry Herman's "Look Over Here" from his Tony Award-winning musical La Cage aux Folles.

That's not all. A DVD "thank you" gift will also be available for Public Television donors. Available only to supporters, the DVD of Memories of My Mom and Dad contains the new 75-minute special (most of the full-length performances on which haven't been seen since they were originally broadcast) plus the complete 1973 Steve & Eydie On Stage NBC-TV special (50 mins.), shot in its entirety in the main showroom at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas with guest appearances by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77 and Lucille Ball. An additional 30 minutes of bonus material is offered in the form of seven more full-length songs from Steve & Eydie's TV appearances and an extra interview with David Lawrence. The total running time of this extraordinary DVD is approximately 2-1/2 hours.

Neither of these titles are planned for retail release.
