RCA Victor released a series of 45 Extended Play albums circa 1954 under the title "Honor Roll of Hits" for specific years within which Perry appeared in four, 1926, 1927, 1930 and 1945. There's not a great deal of information available about this series excepting that the 1926 album included Perry plus Ralph Flanagan, Eddie Fisher and Dinah Shore. The 1933 ( not including Perry ) featured Tony Martin, Dinah Shore, Ray Nobel and Lisa Kirk. In 1960, a compilation album was released featuring the four Como songs included within this series.
