Editorial Reviews

2009 five CD set containing 100 classic tracks by this legendary artist, one of the biggest selling and best remembered musical icons of all time. From his years as a '50s crooner, Andy Williams has always remained 'hip' and 'cool', never falling into the 'cheesy' category that is filled with slightly insincere crooners from days gone by. His Christmas tours still sell out, some 50 years into his long career and interest in his music continues to rise. The five discs are housed in striking contemporary packaging, embossed slipcases and the booklet includes an artist biography. Includes 'Butterfly, 'Hello Young Lovers', 'Moon River', Autumn Leaves' and many more. DMG 100.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Collection!!!, November 14, 2009

I know, I know....

Most Andy Williams fans already have most of these songs on other albums and collections. However- what makes this collection so appealing is the fact that it is very reasonably priced(much cheaper still on Amazon.co.uk!)and the majority of the songs are taken from live performances(they're a little different and "live" is always interesting!), mostly from his great tv series from the sixties. (I understand that he retained the rights to most of his live performances. Smart man!)

The sound is fine and the booklet quite informative. If you love Andy, you need to buy this set! In fact, buy several, they'll make fine Christmas gifts!

Some of thes songs are great, some are awful...like Desperado...one of my favorite songs...and Andy has one of the best voices of all time...you'd think it would be a perfect match, right? Wrong, he was off that day. But if you want to hear rarely heard songs of Andy Williams at a good value, this is a great buy. By FAR his best album, in my opinion, is his Movie Themes album, with a perfect recording of Moon River, songs from West Side Story, and one of his best songs...Love is a Many Splendored Thing. Moon River: The Very Best of Andy Williams This is in addition his Christmas Album, which is unsurpassed. The Andy Williams Christmas Album It was hard to only give Andy Williams four stars for anything, but some of these songs are weak (like the version of Moon River on this compilation - it's from a show with people clapping and all, and it's not as good as the studio version).

Bought this after I read "Moon River & Me" and wanted more of Andy's music on CD. Over 100 songs on 5 discs for around $20 is a great deal. The only downside is that many of the songs are recorded from live performances, something I don't particularly care for. Happily, all of his original Cadence recordings are included.
