GERMANY'S PRIDE & JOY

"The Deutche just love Connie Francis and rightly so. This set contains all of her vast recordings in the language and was part of an interesting project of chronicalling Connie's music career in minute detail which abruptly came to a halt in 1996. This is unfortunate, as all 3 huge Bear Family Box sets are a collectors dream and this one is no exception. Many rare outtakes and alternate versions. This does not just contain overdubbed hits-- many songs were written for her by German composers. This LP size set comes with a large color book written in German, as well as a complete discography of her Deutche recordings which won't be hard for the non-German to figure out. Great sound, clear and crisp as one would expect. Let's hope Bear Family resumes annotating Connie's musical career. This is a winner."
Great box

"this is a realy must if you're a fan of connie francis. i remember connie francis from my childhood. my father played those records, in the first place when i was young i thought she was german because whe had only the german song of her, but now i know better of course.in this box you find the complete oeuvre of the german songs she made and it suprised me on many ways. in the first place thanks to the bear famely company for bringing those songs together. every song is for me a jewel in the crouwn of the connie discography.if you not buy this box i only can say you mis a lot."
