4.0 out of 5 stars Great collection, but short, November 15, 2005

Whenever you think of 50's music, you usually think of rock & roll, yet that never grew until 1955. So, what was around in the 50's til then? That's why I bought this CD.

Surprisingly, some of the songs on here wouldn't be too out of place on a 50's RnR album, most notably, "How High the Moon", "Cry" and "Come On-a My House", all from 1951. The rest is post-war pop.

The least interesting thing about this album is that the 10 songs here are so short that the album doesn't even last half an hour. Like others have said about the series, they should've included more than 10 songs. Still, it's a worthwhile album if you're into vintage pop.

I already owned this one, and bought it for a high school and college classmate who had fond memories of the songs on this recording. As one can imagine, it was "a hit". Delivered on time, as usual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Takes you right back to the early 50s...with pleasure!, September 30, 2008

Original artists singing the most popular songs of the early 1950s. Great to hear them so clearly. Well worth buying if you are interested in this era.
