Editorial Reviews

A tribute to Manhattan composed by maestro Gordon Jenkins in the forties! Upon its original release, this record sold in excess of two million copies, quite an achievement as it contained no hit single, Now, it has been re-mastered and is appearing on CD in its entirety for the first time--and with rare bonus singles!

I am absolutely thrilled that this record has come out on CD. I have had a copy of it ever since I first saw it, and it has always been one of my very top favorites. The music is so pretty, the songs are so beautiful, the singers are so good, and the way it's all put together is just amazing. It's a love affair in a beautiful setting, and if you haven't heard it, you really owe it to yourself to listen. I'm so happy Amazon's got it for such a good price; I want to buy a copy to send to everyone I've ever loved. If you like pre-rock-and-roll pop music, kinda the Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra sound, or if you like Michael Buble and things like that or even Barry Manilow, you'll really like this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars This DRG CD is the legitimate version., March 5, 2008

This review is from: Complete Manhattan Tower (Audio CD)

The key point the other reviewer doesn't understand is this IS a legitimate (authorized and licensed) re-issue re-mastered from the original master tape. The Sepia CD is a compilation of 2 LPs but dubbed from LPs not from the master tapes. DRG pays the publishers for the mechanical rights (use) of the songs, but Sepia hardly pays anything to anyone. The Sepia CD is indeed an illegal product in the territory of the USA technically speaking. I am an owner of a fellow record label in North America. I don't work for DRG. I am affiliated with an American song publishing company that gets constantly victimized by European bootleg labels like Sepia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible CD - Incredible Value, June 11, 2007

This is another of the forgotten shows that Sepia Records has brought back to life. The music and lyrics are wonderful, and the transfer is absolutely superb as are all of the Sepia recordings. The bonus material is incredible as well. I've been told that another issue of MANHATTAN TOWERS is around that doesn't have nearly the same amount of music on it. Where else can you get a CD that has close to 80 minutes of music on it and not pay a fortune? I'm quickly becoming a huge fan of Sepia Records because of their re-release of shows like this and wonderful scores like MAKE A WISH and HAZEL FLAGG that have disappeared as well. Check out Bette Davis in TWO'S COMPANY for an all-time classic. With quality and value like this, I hope that Sepia Records are around for a very long time.
