National treasure (the ultimate collection)

Description

90 years of career of the British singer Vera Lynn, now 97 years old, who became famous during World War II by hosting a radio show (Sincerely Yours) aimed at comforting the armed forces. She has kept the nickname the Forces Sweetheart. On June 6, 2014, the 70th anniversary of the Allied Landing will be celebrated. Many heads of state will be present for the commemorations that will take place in Normandy, culminating in the international ceremony in Ouistreham (Sword Beach). On this double occasion, Decca presents National Treasure The Ultimate Collection, an anniversary edition in 2CD featuring the memorable songs of Vera Lynn that contributed to Britain's effort during the war. The double album brings together over 40 hit songs from the years 1940-1945, including: - 5 tracks that were ranked number 1 upon their release, - 3 unreleased tracks and a new "duet" recording with Katherine Jenkins (We'll meet again). Most of these recordings have been fully remastered for the occasion.
