Search - Paul Anka :: Very Best of Paul Anka

Mixed feelings about this one

(4 out of 5 stars)

"His original oldies from ABC-Paramount ("Diana" etc) are not on this compilation, these are the re-recordings from the early 60's. Still, they're good and brings back feelings from an era long gone with Sputnik in the air and Elvis in the army. And all the best RCA-sides are here like "Love me warm and tender" and "Dance on little girl", except for his biggest hit from that period: "Crying in the wind", a huge hit in Scandinavia, Continental Europe and South America in the summer of 1963. Strange to leave that one out. And really, no compilation of Paul Anka is complete without "I miss you so", a real, true diamond from 1959. That one's on his big hits, vol. 2. Check it out, and enjoy. Wonder when they're giving us a decent compilation of his worldwide hits?"

REMAKES: AWFUL

"I'm a casual listener and even I knew these were re-makes. They sound terrible. What an insult to package this is a way that implies original recordings. Another record label lies to the public. Hmm, time to kazaa these instead. RIP OFF!!!"

If you want original recordings, DON'T PURCHASE THIS!

"This is full of re-recorded songs, NOT THE ORIGINALS! I wish I could have given it NO STARS! I was so disappointed in this cd . . . I didn't know whether to give it to a thrift store or throw it in the garbage."
