Bing: A Musical Autobiography was Bing Crosby's fourth Decca long play album, recorded and originally released in 1954 as a 5 LP set. It was also released as a 17-disc box set of 45rpm EP records. Both box sets came in a hinged box with latch that included a booklet.
Bing Crosby, in a retirement mood by 1954, got together with the Buddy Cole Trio, a small group formed from members of the John Scott Trotter Orchestra, and re-recorded many of his earlier hits. The original Decca masters were used for his hits after 1940.
