The sound quality on these mono recordings is generally quite good (on certain tracks I recommend turning down the bass for clearer sound, however). I was very skeptical of a 100 track set for such a nominal price, but I was very pleasantly suprised. Since the material is from the late 40's-early 50's, many of the tunes are a bit gimmicky and overly "cute" (similar to the stuff Mitch Miller forced Sinatra to record at the end of his contract with Columbia: see "Momma Will Bark") but others are absolute classics. I really enjoyed hearing the earlier version of "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime," (a different version than the one that made Dino "Beatle-Buster Martin" by knocking the Fab 4 out of the #1 slot in the 60's).

I recommend this set as an excellent value for the price.

These cds never leave our stereo. I purchased this set a year ago and we've played them every day since. This is the first Dean Martin music I've ever purchased and I'm so glad I did. This music is what you listen to if you want to lift your mood.

I was accidentally watching the first episode of Skating with Celebrities on TV. When the first couple began skating, it immediately caught my attention, because they were skating to the unmistakable sound of Dean Martin singing a song I had never heard before, and I've heard quite a few. The song was "How D'ya Like Your Eggs in the Morning?" It took me a little research to find that song, but when I did, I ordered the whole collection of CDs right away. It's a set of old Dino songs, but there were a lot of new ones in there for me. The disks haven't been out of my CD changer since I got them, except to download them to iTunes. Then I bought an iPod so I could listen to them everywhere. It's a terrific addition to my Dean Martin collection.
