5.0 out of 5 stars A nice overview of Dinah Shore's 40's recordings..., April 16, 2000

This review is from: Cocktail Hour: Dinah Shore (Audio CD)

Dinah Shore always had a pleasant voice, and like Doris Day, she is always under-rated by jazz buffs, this is a good compilation of Dinah Shore's 40's sessions. Recommended to jazz vocal fans and nostalgia fans alike. Also look hard in second hand record shops for Dinah Sings Some Blues With Red Norvo, and Dinah Sings Previn Plays "Songs In A Midnight Mood" with Andre Previn and his trio, for Dinah Shore in a more jazz oriented setting.

This review is from: Cocktail Hour: Dinah Shore (Audio CD)

I've never had such a bad surprise from Amazon's items such as I had with this double cd-set by Dinah Shore: I was simply astounded by the terrible audio quality and the incredible bad packaging I received. The double cd case is so very thin, that even inside a huge cardboard box used to post the material, it arrived slightly cracked. But this was really irrelevant, compared to the real surprise I got when I put the cd in the player: an incredibly distant voice sighed out from a very dull MONO source that was just lowered in order not leT the background tape noise be heard: it feels as if an old and tired Dinah is quietly singing for the other room, while the door's firmly closed... I decided to buy this cd just because I loved the song `Two silhouettes' I had heard on the `Make mine music' Disney DVD, but it had been far better (and far more cheaper) to record this track from that stereo source, which at least was a decent one. My score for this item: zero. Don't buy this rubbish, unless you want to listen to it on your car cd-player while you're driving 110 Mph on the highway and the window's open. I will return mine to sender.

All good tracks and the audio is clean. The CD is very worth having and in my case is played often. If anyone is unfamiliar with Dinah's smooth song style, this is a good introduction.
