"CDs were wonderful, very inexpensive for a 3 cd package. Quality was strictly 1950's as they were made then, they are the same today. What a wonderful collection.. The shipping and service was great. If you are a fan of the fifties, this is a very nice collection of most of the hits, by the original artists."

A literally unbeatable value!

"Like many other collectors who regularly purchase and review products here, I have a rather large collection of LPs (2,000+) and CDs (700+), covering the music from the thirties through the current decade. We have all made significant investments in acquiring what we integrate as our "personal favorites" and what we consider to be "the best." In building our libraries, some of us have purchased at great expense vast collections from such sources as Time-Life, and put great effort into seeking out mini-collections that fill gaps in the personal libraries.



This album, one of several in a series produced by Collectors' Choice, is a "gap-filler extraordinaire!" Not only that, it is a literally unbeatable value! For the cost of $10.99 - not $75.00 or $150.00 - we have three CDs and SEVENTY-FIVE original recordings that have been transferred to CD beautifully and practically flawlessly.



There are no "loose ends" or "fillers" in the entire collection, and if I could choose a single word to describe the attraction of the set, it would be "variety." The selections move from Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock" to Julie London's smoky "Cry Me a River" to Mario Lanza's "Because You're Mine" and on and on. We have the very best of great crooners, fifties "divas," groups, classic instrumentals, and...., well, take a peek at the track listings.



Again, this is one of the World's Last good deals. If you already own many of the tracks on other collections, even the variety and sequencing of the same songs will make a very welcome addition to the CD changer in your dashboard. Do NOT miss this deal!"

Nice collection

"This is a nice collection of 50s hits. The 50s was not my era, but I knew a lot of the songs from listening to oldies stations. Those that were new to me were a pleasant surprise. A wide assortment and all easy to listen to, iconic songs of the era. The sound quality is not up to current standards, but, hey, it's the 50s! The songs are fun, sweet and upbeat, and all were by the original artists, not remakes. This is also an excellent value for the price with 3 discs, about 75 tracks."
