Customer Reviews

Wow - what can I say
All my favourites in one pack - some songs I had previously heard only in films, and didn't know where to get them as audio tracks. Very enjoyable indeed. Even friends not into this sort of music take notice of the songs - simply great, and a very comprehensive compilation of music of the era, to give one a real feel of what lifestyles and musical taste were like back then. Gives you an insight into what your grandmother listened to, and got up to! Good value for money too!!!

Pure nostalgia!
This is the epitome of easy listening, as it evokes a time when everything was so less complicated. Some would say it tends towards the cheesy, but...bring it on.The songs remind me so much of when I was small and the radio was always on, and everyone sang along. so different from sitting glued to the TV today. This is a brilliant collection at a remarkable price.Some of the titles I was unfamiliar with, but all in all, a most welcome and enjoyable addition to my collection.
