5.0 out of 5 stars Where on where are the rest????, August 9, 1999

Why cannot we have the rest. Like "The Hollyridge Strings Play the Beatles Songbook" volumes 1-3, or the whole collection as a boxed set? While I'm on the subject of the Hollyridge Strings, how about "The Hollyridge Stings Play the Beach Boys Song Book" by Perry Botkin and Mort Garson (Capitol again,), or if you want numbers: S2654, "Oldies But Goldies"; S2221 Hollyridge Strings play Hits Made Famous By Elvis Presley; S2156 "The Beach Boys Song Book; etc., or, especially Stu Phillips' The Hollyridge Stings and the Geororge, John, Paul and Ringo Songbook (Capitol ST 839) or anything by the Hollyridge Strings? C'mon guys...get into the vaults and feed us... the purists of Stu Phillips' and others' orchestral remakes of the greats. Dr. Scott McVittie [e-mail]

5.0 out of 5 stars My Review of The Best of the Beatles Songbook, May 20, 2004

By 

David Stanley (Cary, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best Of The Beatles Song Book (Audio CD)

This is one of the finest collections of Beatles music. It stresses some of their best writing.

The arrangements by the Hollyridge Strings is in one word awesome.

I give my highest rating for both the songs and music. "If I fell" and Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) are the 2 best selections on the album.

They define the Easy listening format like no other. Purchase this CD/Album and prepare for a wonderful Easy listening experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Instrumentals of the "Fab Four"!, January 21, 2002

This review is from: The Best Of The Beatles Song Book (Audio CD)

I have read other reviews of this album and agree that it is great! I have most of the Capitol LP's of the Hollyridge Strings, including Elvis, Simon and Garfunkel,the Beach Boys, and the Four Seasons, and I also hope that Varese Saraband can reissue the others in the "Songbook" series, at least "The Best Of...".The Young Sound of CBS-FM, which I used to listen to in Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC, as well as on American Forces Radio in Vietnam in the Navy in the late 60's, introduced me to this great orchestra performing popular hits, and I became "hooked". I wouldn't mind seeing the David McCallum Orchestra and George Martin's instrumental albums released on CD, also. The audio quality of this CD,I feel, is also superb, being, I assume, directly from the Capitol master tapes.I highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys popular instrumental music.
