Hooray for Hollywood (album)

Hooray for Hollywood is a two-album set recorded by Doris Day, released by Columbia Records. Frank De Vol arranged and conducted the orchestra for the recordings. All but one of the songs were recorded between October and November 1957. The collection was to originally feature Day's recording of "A Very Precious Love", but this was released as a single and replaced on the album with the 1952 re-recording of "It's Magic".

The two-album set was released by Columbia under the catalog number C2L-5 on February 24, 1958. It was subsequently reissued as two separate volumes in both monaural and stereophonic versions as indicated below.

The first record was reissued by Columbia as Hooray For Hollywood - Vol. 1 on October 20, 1958. The catalog number of the mono version was CL-1128, and of the stereo version, CS-8066. On April 23, 2007 it was released, together with You'll Never Walk Alone, as a compact disc by Sony BMG Music Entertainment.
