3.0 out of 5 stars
Dino and his fans are cheated with this release,
By Matthew G. Sherwin (last seen screaming at Amazon customer service) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Essential Love Songs (Audio CD)
Dean Martin was one of the best crooners ever; and he deserves so much better than this type of treatment. This is indeed the same CD release as last year's "Amore" CD--with just one difference: we get an extra track to make sixteen songs here and not the fifteen on "Amore." The extra track is "Everybody Loves Somebody," the fifth song on this CD. Thus Capitol is trying to fool us; with just a single extra song they expect people to buy what is otherwise the same album.
If you already have the CD entitled "Amore," I recommend simply downloading the one extra song on this album, "Everybody Loves Somebody." If you didn't buy "Amore" and are interested in this set of songs, get this CD and forget about "Amore" because you get one song less. Five stars for Dino's magnificent singing (as always) but one star for this carelessly thrown together album equals a three star rating. Dino, you should be getting so much more!

The same as last year's Valentine's release, Amore...,

This review is from: Essential Love Songs (Audio CD)
Yes, this is in fact the exact same release as last year's Valentine's release, Amore (which I've already reviewed), only with a different cover. Why do they keep releasing/rereleasing 1 or 2 disc sets, when long-time fans such as myself would love a 4-5 disc box set, covering both Dean's Capitol and Reprise recordings, AND with deluxe packaging (i.e. a sturdy cardboard cover and a nice, thick, well-written book, and NO cheap-looking jewel cases).
Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley get numerous deluxe box set treatments, so this is a plea from me to the Dean Martin estate: PLEASE!!?? 2004's The Essential Dean Martin is his best-selling release EVER! You'd think that was a strong indication of Dino's popularity, so where's the box set?

I am always excited to receive anything with Dean singing on it; he is truly and original. But I was disappointed when I found out that it had all of the same songs as my Amore CD, except for one. I could never give Dean Martin a bad review but I would think that he deserves much better than just changing a cover and selling it as something else. I love Deans music and would hope to see something better out of the record company. If you don't have this CD I would highly recommend it.
