Great Rare Compilation- A must have

"I MUST strongly disagree with the negative review. This happens to be a compilation of old and newer Steve Lawrence that has never been available on one recording. The remastering (especially of the old stuff) is amazing, giving the music new life and depth that I can not get out of my vinyl recordings. My wife gave me this as a gift to replace my vinyl Steve Lawrence recordings, and I have to say it is a great gift for any true Steve Lawrence fan. The New York New York is second to none, and I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love is another classic that I can't help but love."

Stellar

"My father was a devoted Steve Lawrence fan and introduced me to his music before I could crawl. Surprisingly, as I grew older I developed my own appreciation for his music. While I am partial to my dad's vinyl collection, I have purchased several remastered CDs, including this one. The sound quality is top-notch. It successfully shows off Lawrence's talent and does not hide it behind fancy engineering. I was particularly impressed with tracks one ("New York, New York") and five ("I Won't Break"). This compilation showcases some of the 20th century's most beloved songs. I would reccomend this album to fellow Lawrence fans, to fans of Anne Murray, and, in general, to anyone who likes classic easy listening music."

"I have a lot of Steve's vinyl recordings and enjoy listening to them. For some reason, this CD recording seems to be under recorded and the only solution is to turn up the volume to listen. When compiling with other artists on a cd burner, the songs are noticably under recorded compared to the other songs. Otherwise, I enjoy listening to Steve sing. I just wish someone would re-issure ALL of Steve's vinyl records - that would be a blast!"
