5.0 out of 5 stars
Another outstanding VOX music sampler!, May 31, 2009
This review is from: 25 Romantic Classics (DVD)
25 ROMANTIC CLASSICS is listed in the MUSIC category and is clearly a CD. The item pictured here is from the 2004 re-issue of their 1996 series and has a redesigned cover. Contents remain the same.
The album's back cover statement "EDITED FOR LEISURE LISTENING" is quite accurate. These over two-dozen samples from the immense VOX records archives include a few older monarual selections. Sound quality throughout is top shelf as are performances.

25 SENTIMENTAL FAVORITES is an ideal companion to this collection.
