    The Osmond's 60s and 70s albums have never been released on CD legitimately in any country. Several 2 for 1 bootleg collections have been released on all of the original catalogue. Most notably the first and original 4 album sets released on the Maestro label. Maestro released the albums as an original master series with hard to find bonus tracks tracks in top quality sound. Each set contained 4 albums on 2 CDs with all of the original album cover and MGM label art work intact. Many copies of these bootlegs have followed, but the original Maestro label releases cannot be beat. These circulated through the internet on sites like eBay for about 10 years and are now highly collectible.
