Various Artists - Nashville Stars Auf Europa [4 CD + DVD Box Set]

In April 1964, right about the time of Beatlemania, RCA Nashville took the bold step of sending its biggest stars to Europe. Those making the trip were Jim Reeves, Bobby Bare, The Anita Kerr Singers and Chet Atkins.

Fortunately, several of the concerts were recorded and even filmed, but the recordings were lost for nearly 40 years!

Nashville Stars Auf Europa is a lavish Bear Family production comes in an LP sized box set, and alongside the usual high quality book the set includes 4 CDs and 1 DVD fully capturing this major slice of country music history.

Following the tour, RCA in Nashville encouraged all of its major stars, including Jim Ed Brown, Willie Nelson, Skeeter Davis and Stu Phillips, to record in German, and those German-language recordings are now included and available for the first time!
