DONNA SUMMER gained prominence during the 1970s disco era, propelled by her incessant and creative driving force behind the genre's global popularity, rightly earning the title "Queen Of Disco" and becoming one of the most successful recording artists of the entire decade. Donna was the first Artist to have three consecutive Double-Albums reach No. 1 on the US Billboard charts and also became the first artist to achieve four No. 1 singles in a thirteen month period. Donna's catalogue has sold more than 130 Million units worldwide and this re-issue campaign of seven of her later albums, prove that she was able to accommodate new musical and production styles as the decade progressed. Donna Summer became the first Artist signed to the new Geffen Records label in 1980 and released her first single and album - both entitled 'THE WANDERER' - for the label in the same year. This limited edition 24 CD box set collates the Singles originally released on Geffen Records and Atlantic Records from the albums 'The Wanderer', 'Donna Summer', 'Cats Without Claws', 'All Systems Go', 'Another Place And Time' and 'Mistaken Identity'. To preserve the authenticity in this CD Singles Box Set, the tracks included on these CD Singles appeared on the various formats of the official international versions, so there will be instances where different B-sides were released, as well as the inclusion of a duplication of tracks from previous singles. Also included is a Bonus 4-track CD featuring remixes, which although were on the Club/DJ circuit, have not been previously available commercially. The individual re-mastered re-issues, are packaged in replica mini-sleeves from across Donna Summer's international releases and feature a newly authored liner note by noted US writer Christian John Wikane, with brand new interviews undertaken with, amongst others, Bruce Sudano, Matt Aitken, Jellybean Benitez, Harold Faltermeyer, Lisa Fischer, Siedah Garrett, Pete Hammond, Sylvester Levay, Melba Moore, Ray Parker Jr., Brenda Russell, Martyn Ware and Pete Waterman, as well as extracts from archive interviews with Donna Summer by Christian John Wikane.
