Moments to Remember: Golden Hits of the ’50s & ’60s

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Definitely an oddity (discussed at some length in this old edit), this set appears to have been a promotional release for the PBS series that shares the "My Music" title.
Archive of apparent ebay listing here, still apparently yours for a donation here (along with the DVDs etc).
Just why they'd throw in a best-of-NKC disc (also released commercially remains a mystery. (The other version in this release group is identical except for said "bonus".)
