Six classic Dolly albums from the 1970s and 1980s are being re-issued on CD in the UK by SonyBMG on March 5th to coincide with her European tour. Project coordinator Stephen Munns has been working for years to get some of Dolly’s classic albums out on CD, choosing the albums that fans most wanted to hear. The six albums are being released onto three separate discs with two albums per disc, five of which have never previously been available on CD. The six albums chosen were Burlap & Satin, Real Love, Great Balls Of Fire, Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, All I Can Do, and New Harvest…First Gathering, all of which were recording during her years with RCA.

Also being released on March 5th to coincide with her European tour is a brand new compilation CD titled The Very Best Of Dolly Parton. The career-spanning twenty-one song collection will feature the usual hits from her early days like “Coat of Many Colors” and “Jolene” as well as her more recently acclaimed work like “Shine” from her 2001 Little Sparrow album and her Oscar and Grammy nominated song “Travelin’ Thru” from the Transamerica soundtrack.
