Customer Reviews

 
A great compilation Rating: 5.0

The Universal Classics people have put together a first class and imaginative compilation with excellent quality throughout (except for the 'You Are My Sunshine' track which has a lot of surface noise). Many of Bing's classic hits are here together with tracks from 1956 with Buddy Bregman and also seldom heard songs from the 1970s. I wondered whether the stereo 70s recordings of the old Crosby voice would mix with the mono tracks from the 40s of the younger Bing but it all works very well. This set deserves to sell in huge quantities.


 
Hugely enjoyable Rating: 5.0

I've always been a massive fan of Bing, and this great-value collection gives me over two hours of classic Crosby. Old favourites combine with tracks new to CD (eg. the fabulous "Seasons"), and highlights include "Cheek to Cheek" and "They All Laughed", as well as the duet with David Bowie and the timeless "Gone Fishin'". Proving that Bing can swing like the rest of the famous - or infamous - Rat Pack, fans and newcomers should not be disappointed.
