Customer Reviews

Ultimate collection5
An absolutely fantastic collection of 'dance band and vocalist' favourites - get this and you won't really need any other dance band CD's! The sound quality is superb (considering the original medium of 78's), only the slight muffling of cymbals revealing the age of the recordings. Nearly all the songs have the typical format of 'one minute band playing tune' followed by 'minute and a half of singing' finishing with 'minute of band playing' again. In addition, most numbers are lively ones, with only a few of the more ballad-style pieces. Overall verdict: excellent collection worth every penny.

great bands great singers5
i never tire of listening to these great c.ds. real music played by top class musicians, sung by top class singers

Elegant5
There isn't much I can add to what the previous reviewers have said, except that the quality of the transfers is particularly clear. None of the flatness one often receives with older recordings which have been 'cleaned up'; other than the fact that they are (quite correctly) presented in mono, they sound as if they could have been recorded yesterday. For the price, I really don't see how anyone could resist.
