5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive! Well mixed versions of Sal Mineo's music!, June 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Epic Recordings (Audio CD)

Not only was Sal Mineo one of the best actors around but he also recorded a smash hit album in 1957 and this release captures all those songs and 2 bonus unreleased tracks that burn up the stereo with Sal's sexy voice and also a very impressive collection of pictures in the cd's book.Sal might not have been the best singer but he still has an incredibly sexy voice and I really enjoy this album.I don't know why it sounds so much better than the previous released versions of these songs but I love the way they sound on this!!!I hope Hollywood follows by releasing more of Sal's movies on video and I am also excited about the new movie about Sal's life starring Thomas Ian Nicholas and directed by Joey Travolta! It seems Sal Mineo's star is on the rise again and he deserves it no questions asked! I highly recomend this cd!!!! 5 stars!!

5.0 out of 5 stars REMASTERED TO STEREO! A MUST FOR SAL MINEO FANS!, May 12, 2002

I am owner of Sal Mineos "official" website. ... I was thrilled to be able to secure a promotional copy of this magificant cd before the release date, and equally thrilled to find our website mentioned in the cd's booklet!! This is the complete collection of the songs Sal Mineo recorded for the Epic label! Including his chart smash,"Start movin"(#5 on Billboard's hot 100 singles chart in 1957) The big difference here is these songs have been digitally remastered from the original mono recordings into lush, and full STEREO for the very first time ever! Even if you already own these songs, you haven't "really" heard them until you hear them in true STEREO!... Also included are 2 unreleased tracks, including the theme song for Sal's smash hit movie, "Dino"!! This collection is a MUST for any Sal Mineo fan!! And also recommended to all fans of upbeat mid 1950's bubble gum pop/rock.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great forgotten music, May 19, 2003

Just on a whim I bought this recording to see what all the hoopla was about Sal Mineo. What a suprise! With each time listening throught the CD, I found the songs more and more enjoyable. What a rare find. Now i'm looking for all his recordings from all labels.

The sound quality is excellent--including the stereo recordings given the vintage of these sessions. My old 78s of his pale in comparison!!

If you're at all in doubt about this compilation--don't!
