Editorial Reviews

The 20th Century Masters series is the best-selling single-artist line in music history and is being re-released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."

To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered. Official liner notes are easily accessible on the Internet at http://www.ilovethatsong.com/green.

UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam®, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam®.

Wow, a 2002 Chuck Mangione release with no reviews? That's a real surprise. He can't have fallen from the pop music landscape entirely, I hope. This is an excellent compilation from one of the leading interpreters of mellow, fusion jazz during the '70s and '80s, right up there with Weather Report. Land of Make believe was a huge hit and got quite a bit of airplay. The inimitable Esther Saddlefield provided the vocals. It's message may sound a bit syrupy these days, but it's still a classic, with it's trademark Mangione slow build and excellent orchestration. The other cuts on the disc will be familiar to Mangione fans and they won't be disappointed with the recording values here. Every instrument comes through with dulcet clarity. This is a very good package at a great price. I hope some Amazon customers give it a try.

I frankly don't understand some of the negative reviews this CD has received. It's a collection of all original recordings (except for the Hill Where the Lord Hides, taken from the A&M Hollywood Bowl live album), all full length. A thorough overview of Mangione's A&M work, with the added surprise of the Land of Make Believe from the original Mercury album. Super!

This is a great jazz CD and wonderful to lighten to at night or when you want some down time. #5 "Feels So Good" is the best track on the CD. Great for those looking to add Chuck to their collection. Watch "King of the Hill" for Chuck sightings!
