Donna Summer Vault - Rare and Unreleased Recordings

I created this website to gather information on Donna's unreleased work. I hope this will generate interest and that these songs are eventually released commercially for all of us to enjoy. This website will serve as a reference so that these songs can be included on future box sets or compilations.

Her fans know about many of these  tracks and want this material to be available commercially!!! Donna holds the rights and even the masters to many of these great songs. Others belong to the record company or the producer. For example, Giorgio Moroder owns the rights to Donna's first album, "Lady of the Night". This album was previously not available on CD format but was finally released a few years ago in Europe. In the US it is only available as an import.

I have simplified the layout of the information to make it easier to navigate the site:

• Rarities and unreleased songs, in chronological order

• Videos

I'm also including some ideas for releasing these songs and videos. For example, a remastered edition of some albums such as "Live and More" can be enhanced by including the video of the concerts held in 1977 in Los Angeles, where most of the album was recorded. Other albums such as "Cats without Claws" can be remastered and released with extras such as unreleased tracks ("Face the Music", 12" mix of "I'm Free").

The lists are continually being updated with information that is sent to me by fans. Please feel free to e mail me your comments and I will be glad to include them.

Thank you note: This list was compiled by me with information from various sources, most of them die hard fans like  Fidji, Javier, Dale and Raul Mondragón. Special thanks to William E M and Ricky; most of the material in this website was written and researched by them. I hope I'm not missing anyone!
