CD Reviews

Good Belafonte collection....with a fatal flaw.

My-2-Cents | Maryland, USA | 10/02/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a good collection of five(5) early Belafonte albums originally released on RCA Victor in the 1950's. It contains MARK TWAIN & OTHER FOLK FAVORITES, BELAFONTE, CALYPSO, AN EVENING WITH BELAFONTE, & BELAFONTE SINGS OF THE CARIBBEAN.

These albums are out of copyright in Europe, that is why this is not a BMG/Sony release. The sound quality is quite good and I don't think that anyone listening will be dissapointed.

Only one fatal flaw, on the album AN EVENING WITH..., the song ONCE WAS(track 2 on orig. album) is NOT included in this package. It's a shame and again a fatal flaw to an otherwise good collection of early Belafonte music.

No original album covers are included, but some credits (songwriters, etc.) are included.

The song ONCE WAS can be found on the 3-CD box set released by RCA in the mid to late 1990's.

Overall, good collection, great price. And for those of you who want the missed song, it's almost a great collection.

That's my-2-cents. Enjoy the music."
