The Freshmen are the best thing that could happen to American Popular Song. Their gorgeous arrangements considerably enhance the harmonies of those marvellous melodies without ever destroying their basic richness. This particularly applies to the Love Lost and Voices in Love albums but to me the same can be said about most of the Freshmen Capitol output. Their reissues on the CD format are thus mostly welcome!

Many people feels these two albums were the FF's best. Both gorgeous, lushly orchestrated with an unusual tasty choice of songs and vocals out of this world. Fabulous voicings and harmonies and I remember when the LPs first appeared and were widely celebrated. Anything by the group is worth getting but this is extra special.

i owned both of these albums back in the sixties and was happy to see that they are now available on one cd . i have always believed that these two albums were the freshmen's best and i would recommend them both to anyone who appreciates what real music is supposed to sound like . no cacaphony , no screaming , no vulgarities, no unintelligble lyrics , just real music with the classic four freshmen open harmony sound. outstanding ........

If your a fan of wonderful harmonies and fabulous arrangements ,'ya gotta have these.

I've had them on vinyl and never thought they'd be available on c.d. The last one I got was a gift from The Freshmen's former manager back in the early '70's. Ross sent me a note and said that , at the time ,the "Voices in Love" album hadn't been available on Capitol for years. What a great surprise to find it now.

I love these c.d.'s with soft candles , a tasty wine and tasty lady.

Enjoy , Freshman fans!

I enjoyed this album when I was a teen, I was excited to see that I could buy it now as a CD. I bought it March 5, 2010 and still have not received it. I have received all other CDs that I ordered, I wish there were someone I could check status with.

I am very surprised to read the rave reviews on this CD. Maybe the one I purchased is just a lemon. The sound quality is poor. Also the voices are distorted. Very disappointed. Years ago I owned the LP "Voices in Love." I think it was their best, and my favorite. I especially like the song "In the Still of the Night." Guess I'll continue to look for the albumn at record shows. Have found many Freshmen albums at used record shops, but "Voices in Love" is eluding me.

The Four Freshmen were the BEST.Their harmony is unsurpassed. Theywere the right combination at the right time and all you have to do is listen to this album, its fantastic,enough said.

As I recall, these were the Freshmen's last two LP's before Don Barbour left the group.

The mood is softer and slower than previous albums, with lush strings backing up the vocal harmonies.

Best appreciated late at night.
