"I happened to come across Ben Bagley's Cole Porter Revisited Volumes 3 and 4 for $2 each at some music store. I decided to get them because I love Cole Porter and they were only $2 each. I was pleasantly surprised. Ben Bagley compiled great, basically unknown Cole Porter songs, and had them sung by great, sometimes known singers (Elaine Stritch, Kate Hepburn, Kaye Ballard). And he wrote some fun liner notes. A good purchase all around. I liked 3 and 4 so much that I bought volumes 1 and 5 online. All four have given me hours of enjoyment. I really wish more people knew about these.

That said, I'd like to share track listings, since there is no information on this website:
