Neil Sedaka is one of the rare geniuses of popular music, and his golden decade was from 1956 until 1966. He wrote hit songs for Connie Francis (Stupid Cupid, Where The Boys Are, among others), and began his recording career as one of the founding members of the legendary doo-wop group, the Tokens. And then in 1958 he signed with RCA, and scored an unbroken string of hits that includes some of the era's most memorable songs: The Diary, I Go Ape, Oh! Carol, Stairway To Heaven, You Mean Everything To Me, Run Samson Run, Calendar Girl, Little Devil, Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, Next Door To An Angel, Let's Go Steady Again, and many more.

These were the songs that paved the way for artists like Neil Diamond, Elton John and Barry Manilow... and even the return of Neil Sedaka himself!

This 8 CD-set is the last word on Neil Sedaka's golden decade. It contains his ultra-rare recordings for Melba, Decca, Legion, and Pyramid (most unreissued until now), as well as the complete RCA recordings, including 15 previously unissued masters. Many of the RCA recordings are mixed to true stereo by Bill Inglot for the first time

This set also contains all of Neil Sedaka's foreign language recordings in German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish, as well as his Christmas Greeting, New Years Greeting, station breaks, plus an exclusive message to his Japanese fans, and movie tracks!

The hardcover book contains many rare pictures. The text was written by Brian Gari with the full cooperation of Neil Sedaka.
