CD Review: Great products - Nice! Review: Engelbert's best compilation by FAR - 44 tracks should tell you something. But the real greatness lies in the fact that there are many cuts that you just could not find on CD - until now. Songs like "We Made It Happen" and "By The Time I Get To Phoenix", for instance, have been darn near impossible to get on CD previously. Now you can hear them in fresh, clear digital sound. My old LPs, unfortunately, can't live up to that. All the hits, of course, are also included. Engelbert displays why he has, without a doubt IMO, the greatest voice of any male artist ever. The guy has some phenomenal pipes. I wish we could get the full original albums from Engelbert during the 1967-70 period put out on CD since there are certainly several more cuts I'd like culled from those releases. But that may or may not ever happen. This collection comes closer than any other - definitely worthy of the "Gold" moniker. Guess I'll just break out the original LPs (which I've recorded into MP3s) for those worthy cuts not found here. They've already squeezed as many songs onto this 2-CD set as possible.

Engelbert's best compilation by FAR
44 tracks should tell you something. But the real greatness lies in the fact that there are many cuts that you just could not find on CD - until now.

A Gold Mine of Songs
I happened to hear the song "Love Me With All of Your Heart" on the radio and was determined to find out if the rest of Englebert Humperdink's hits were of the same caliber. I was not dissappointed. From the plaintive opening song "Please Release Me" onwards, the quality of his magnificent soaring vocals and the excellent selection of songs means this has been on my MP3 player almost constantly. The second CD has a few seventies semi-disco numbers that are pretty forgettable, but to be able to say I like three quarters of the songs on a CD is pretty good going. I recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys romantic sixties ballads of this type. I feel sure you will not regret it if you take my advice.

That listening to Englebert is great
I had ordered the CD to replace the one I had because it got damaged somehow. The only thing That I can complain about is that when I received the the new CD the case was cracked but the the CD works beautifully. Thank You Vivian Selby

Fabulous!
Engelbert Humperdinck has a superb voice. The arrangements are excellent. The stereo imaging of the CDs are well done. The CDs have crystal clear sound.

One Great Vocalist
Wow! If you want to hear singing done to perfection with both power and smoothness this is the album. It is becomong one of my favorites and the more i listen to it the better it gets. Engelbert is without a doubt one of the best vocalists to ever sing and this Cd will prove it. His range and vocal quality is almost perfection. I am sad i am just now discovering what a great singer he was. In a world that is full of mediocre singers with very little talent it is a treasured find to discover Engelbert who shows all others how its done. My personal favorites on this Cd are My World, A Place in the Sun and Love Me with All Your Heart of course After the Lovin but its hard to find more than two bad songs on all this double Cd 44 song collection. I highly recommend it. Love songs sung with power. One great vocalist and one great Cd.

Love, Love, Love
It was the best CD of Engelbert Humperdink I Love all the songs. To tell the truth I puchased this for someone else and I loved it so much I kept it for myself. Another reason I ordered this CD was because there was a list of songs so I knew exactly what I was getting. You should do that with all your CDs because if I can't see a list of songs I will not purchase it because I got burnt with a CD that was called The Best Of The Girl Groups, Vol 1 !!!!!!!!!!
