CDs and vinyl releases.

A limited-edition transparent green vinyl exclusive to a retailer and a multi-disc set released in partnership with the Nat King Cole estate are noted.

They vary: examples include a seven-CD set and a five-CD collection totaling 115 tracks.

Classic carols and holiday standards, including "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)", "Deck the Hall", "O Holy Night", "Silent Night" and other traditional holiday tracks.

They cover an early period from 1936 to 1943, documenting sessions from Nat at about age 17 through early trio and radio transcription recordings.

They advertise substantial counts, for example a five-CD set with 115 tracks and an 'essential' collection described as containing his biggest 75 hits.

The set presents meticulously restored early live-to-disk recordings and includes an extensive 60+ page booklet with rare photographs, essays, interviews, and testimonials.

The collection covers hits from 1942 through 1962, compiling US Billboard entries and UK hits up to 1962.
