John Denver will get the deluxe box-set treatment this fall. The four-CD All of My Memories: The John Denver Collection, due Nov. 4 from RCA/Legacy Recordings, will contain 90 songs spanning the entirety of the late singer's career, including six previously unreleased tracks.

The tracks on All My Memories draw from 31 albums and cover the years 1964, when he made a pair of demo recordings for Capitol Records, to 1997, the year of his death. In addition to the hits he regularly had on pop and country radio — like chart-toppers Annie's Song, Thank God I'm a Country Boy and I'm Sorry — they include live performances and promotional rarities, as well as limited-edition and private-pressing recordings.

These six tracks have never seen commercial release:

Cover versions of The Road and Far Side of the Hill, two 1964 demos recorded for Capitol Records in Hollywood, prior to joining the Mitchell Trio;

An early version of Rhymes and Reasons, cut in early '69 for Reprise Records and re-done as the title track of his debut LP for RCA later that year;

A live version of Spirit recorded at the Sydney Opera House in 1977 but not included on the 1999 concert album release;

An alternate take of Eli's Song from 1976; and

A 1973 of the standard It's A Sin to Tell a Lie, the 1955 Somethin' Smith and the Redheads version of which was his mother's favorite record.
