"I want to make music for everyone. It must be enjoyed by all. Otherwise it is pointless."
The Bert Kaempfert Decca Collection is scheduled to be released on January 19, 2024! This 24-CD box set features the USA Decca albums (plus Pete Fountain Plays Bert Kaempfert), with original album artwork plus 42 bonus tracks placed appropriately throughout the set:
The following albums are included (USA versions):

The set can be pre-ordered at JPC, Grooves, and Amazon.de. USA fans might consider ordering from Grooves as the price is just US $75 with free shipping. The set is currently listed as unavailable at Amazon US.
This site is primarily a discography intended to show all of the albums and CD reissues of Bert Kaempfert's recorded works. It was first created in July 2009 but has not been maintained. The now-defunct Drupal 7 is showing error messages. I do not know whether I will ever attempt to upgrade it.
