Collector's Series is a 1985 album by singer-songwriter Dolly Parton.
Album information
[edit]This album is a compilation, and included some of Parton's chart hits, along with lesser known album cuts originally released between 1969 and 1978. It was created for further promotion by her record label, which would soon drop her despite her success.
It did not do much for her career, as she had no promotion, being dropped from the label very soon after. However, Collectors Series was released during a time when none of Parton's classic early 1970s work had yet been issued on CD (given the fairly recent advent of the medium), and thus was the first instance signature Parton songs "Jolene", "I Will Always Love You", "Coat of Many Colors" and "The Bargain Store" appeared on CD.
