Yes, that's what Gordon Anderson told the website The Second Disc, but a few weeks later a fan on the Steve Hoffman board got this response to an email to her official website:
"The Complete Warner Bros. Singles double CD release from Collector's Choice Music has unfortunately been placed on indefinite hold despite Collector's Choice commitment for the project and Petula's enthusiastic support. She and everyone involved are greatly disappointed the CD is not happening now but it is hoped that it might be possible to issue the historic package at some point in the very near future while there is still an opportunity to release classic music on the CD format."
So I really don't know what the situation is.

The other main reason projects don't come out is because of
legal issues concerning a song or two. Those are things
that cannot be discussed.

Well, looks like these have all been canceled. Collectors Choice and Deep Discount have both removed the listings for the "Complete Singles" sets for Joanie Sommers, Shelby Flint, and Connie Stevens. The galling thing is, SURELY these were already mastered! They probably weren't pressed, but with all the research that had to be done, tapes pulled, etc., for them to be canceled that close to release... the digital master tape for each CD has to be sitting there, ready to go.
Hopefully when things settle down at Collector's Choice after the new takeover, they will see the light of day.

Perhaps it's me, but I find it very interesting that these were cancelled AFTER Gordon Anderson announced he was leaving CCM.

Sure enough, just got an email from Deep Discount that my order is canceled.

Well, according to the poster StereoScout on BSN, who claims to have inside sources, these sets will be released to regular retail on (tentatively) February 22nd. They have been listed for pre-order on Amazon and other sites with that date for some time.
He says they were pulled from the Collector's Choice website because the delay in release caused them to lose their exclusivity deal, which would have given them exclusive rights to the titles for X number of months, so they apparently can't release them until the standard retail date now.

Thanks for the update, Brian. I also checked Amazon with the faintest hope that maybe the Petula Clark Complete Warner Bros. Singles CD set would be rescheduled for a February release, but no dice. I'm still disappointed over its cancellation.

I did, too. But according to the same BSN poster, the Petula discs were never actually pressed... Collector's Choice ran into money problems before they could be.
Someone else then speculated that Petula Clark's management wanted in-advance royalty payments for these, and that the company was in no financial position to oblige, and perhaps that's why the Petula release was canceled.

Former Collector's Choice vice-president Gordon Anderson just made an announcement on the Facebook page of his new label, Real Gone Music:
Quote:
| We like single girls at Real Gone Music. Coming Nov. 8 are the three long-delayed singles collections from Connie Stevens, Joanie Sommers and Shelby Flint! |

Not yet. That one was canceled long before the others, though.

With the imminent release of Petula's Italian singles, my thoughts went to the planned release of the US Warner singles... Is there any chance of renewed efforts to release the Warner set?

In addition to Pet Clark's USA catalog singles I would
really enjoy 45 versions from Johnny Rivers.
