CD Reviews

A must for Jolie fans

soccerchap | Olympia, WA USA | 12/03/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD has been created in such a manner as to capture the rich Jolson voice with a fidelity missing on most CD's. The recordings are of Jolson classics recorded on 78's from 1945 to 1949. An outstanding CD in digital stereo."

Beautiful restoration - buy it!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Robert Parker has made a career of restoring 78 rpm recordings to modern standards, and this CD is a fine example of his craft. Featuring 28 Decca tracks, they are cleaned up and augmented with a tad of reverberation; not enough to detract as the simulated stereo of the 1960s did, but enough to flesh out the sound. This album is a worthy addition to any Jolson fan's collection."
