Title: Battleground Korea: Songs & Sounds of America's Forgotten War
Artist: Various Artists
Label: Bear Family
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 5397102175183
Genre: Country
Release Date: 2018-05-18
Number of Discs: 4

Rarely heard documentary audio material, including patriotic public service announcements, field news reports and even a plea for blood donations from Howdy Doody!A richly illustrated, colorfully illustrated book with detailed artist and song notes as well as a history of the Korean War. Audio mastering and the layout for 'Battleground Korea' was recently completed and we can now announce the release of this project for Bear Family (where it belongs) at the end of March 2018. The bound book will appear in a sturdy slipcase (approx. 28 x 28 cm) similar to the current Woody Guthrie 'Tribute Concerts' set. There will be detailed background information on each of the approximately 100 songs included in the edition, as well as artist biographies and extra chapters with transcriptions of the texts, illustrated with photos of that time, advertisements, flyers, magazines, record sleeves, book covers and other memorabilia. Among the book's special chapters are an interview with Frankie Miller, recalling his time in Korea, and a nine-page section with photos and newspaper headlines describing Marilyn Monroe's visit to the troops. At the time of the 1953 ceasefire agreement, which ended the war, some 327,000 US soldiers were still in Korea. In the course of 1954, this number was reduced by more than 30% to just over 225,000. Many of these troops were fortunate enough to see Marilyn Monroe during her four-day USO tour of the military bases in February of 54. Many of the photos of Marilyn, who fulfilled her 'patriotic duty' in Korea for thousands of grateful soldiers, were only recently found in the archives of the US Army and have rarely been seen before.

Very soft. Wash only on gentle cycle in cold water and low tumble dry. Fabulous blanket.
Size: 50"x60", Color: Orange
So far so good. It was a little sheddy at first but then I washed it and it was fine. It is super soft even after being washed twice. Several people have commented on how soft it is and stated they thought it was a Minky couture. I washed it on gentle cycle in cold water and dried it on gentle low tumble dry. It does not seem to be shedding now. I washed it a second time and put vinegar in the rinse cycle because supposedly that is supposed to help bind the fibers or something. Still seems to be not shedding. It's probably the softest blanket I have every owned. When I wash it, I will continue to wash it on gentle in cold water and dry on either gentle low tumble dry r just air fluff. I read the heat good make the fibers loose and cause more shedding. If anything changes, I will update.

Quality of fabric may be less plush.
Size: 50"x60", Color: Tan
Very soft and plush blanket, although it not as thick and heavy as previously purchased in another color (same brand) it’s still a nice blanket.

Heartfelt Gesture of Appreciation
Size: Classic Cozy Collection, Color: "Thank You" Card
The Unboxme Thank You Gift Box proved to be the epitome of a thoughtful and appreciated gift. I recently chose this box as a thank you gift for my mother-in-law, and it was met with genuine delight and gratitude. The Warm + Cozy theme of the box was not just a label; it encapsulated the essence of the carefully curated items within. From the moment she opened the box, my mother-in-law was greeted with an array of cozy delights that radiated warmth and care. The inclusion of quality items, such as a plush blanket, scented candle, and gourmet treats, showcased the attention to detail in selecting items that truly contribute to a cozy and comforting experience. The blanket, in particular, was not just a token gesture but a genuinely luxurious addition that she immediately embraced. The packaging was not only aesthetically pleasing but also conveyed a sense of thoughtfulness and care in the presentation of the gift. The attention to detail in the arrangement of items and the quality of the box itself elevated the entire unboxing experience. What made this gift even more special was its versatility. The Warm + Cozy box is suitable for various recipients, including clients, coworkers, bosses, neighbors, and employees. Its universal appeal speaks to its well-rounded selection of items that can bring joy to a wide range of individuals. In conclusion, the Unboxme Thank You Gift Box for Women, Warm + Cozy edition, is more than just a collection of items; it's a gesture of genuine appreciation and care. My mother-in-law's positive reaction is a testament to the success of this thoughtful gift. Highly recommended for anyone looking to express gratitude with a touch of warmth and coziness.
