5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the best Bassey compilation, April 4, 2010

By 

nyctc7 (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Emi / Ua Years 1959-1979 (Audio CD)

I had been looking forward for some time to get my hands on the 1964 Carnegie Hall concert! The booklet is really nice, it has two sections of track lists: The first has the song credits, and the second gives a sentence or two about the song. The liner notes by Chris White stretch for half a dozen pages, giving a nice overview of her life and career. (I did detect a stray error here and there, but still this is the most comprehensive liner notes I've seen on her.) In addition to the Carnegie concert, there are 14 previously unreleased (as of 1994) recordings amongst the other 94 tracks. (A couple of those have since been included as bonus tracks on the BGO re-issues.) Finally, I now have the version of "La vita" that appears on the album of that name (the Italian-only release that as far as I know has never been released on CD)! Of course there are many songs that I do already have, but no matter. Sometimes I just like to drop a compilation like this on and treat it like a greatest hits, hearing a few songs from one album, then going right into songs from the next album. Add the songs I don't have, such as the aforementioned unreleased tracks, and single releases (especially B - sides: I do not own vinyl), and I love this compilation! Of course, it only goes up to 1979, but that does represent the bulk of her recording career, releases came a little slower after that, but are also an indispensible part of any Bassey collection. boxset. Pre-1979, also recommended are Burn My Candle - The Complete Early Years and The Complete EMI Columbia Singles Collection. Another great all-around compilation is the three-disc Four Decades of Song, also known as The Collection. It contains many great songs not included here.

I`ve been a long time fan of Shirley Bassey.The only problem is you can`t find any of her CD`S in the American stores.I went onto Amazon.com,and was amazed of all the Shirley Bassey CD`S i found.

The CD that i ordered is;"BASSEY THE EMI/UA YEARS 1959-1979".It`s a five CD set,and has 111 songs,and all the songs are great.
