Excellent Overview of Rare Recordings,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Lost 40s and 50s Capitol Masters (Audio CD)
This issue is not advertised as Peggy's Greatest Hits or as "The Best of Peggy", so the reviewer who scorns it because it is not the "Best" is off mark. There are dozens of "Best of" compilations of Peggy Lee available. After years and years of fans wishing to obtain those rare, never re-issued singles of Peggy (and of many other singers, for that matter), Collector's Choice should be applauded for bringing these together. Recordings from the 40's and 50's have a special quality, even if they aren't all Gershwin, Porter and Berlin. This is a very fine collection, and the cover photo and essay alone are worth the price. Pick it up, and encourage Collector's Choice to keep up their excellent reissue series.

This review is from: The Lost 40s and 50s Capitol Masters (Audio CD)
Now, with so much of Peggy Lee's back catalog finally seeing reissue on CDs over the past few years, it would seem that the bottom of the barrel is being scraped for the last remaining morsels.
Or is it? So, these aren't the hits, but Peggy seems to have been incapable of giving anything less than her best effort, as most of these tunes make clear. Fans will all have their favorites; mine are "Love, Your Magic Spell Is Everywhere," "The Devil Won't Get Me," the duets with Mel Torme, who was one of her best singing partners, and "Please Don't Call Me On the Telephone," a voice-altered reference to the novelty songs of the 1920's. Anyway, if you are new to Peggy Lee, I wouldn't recommend that you start collecting with this disc. But if you're a loyal fan, you shouldn't be disappointed in this delightful compilation.

This review is from: The Lost 40s and 50s Capitol Masters (Audio CD)
I'm a pretty big Peggy Lee fan, so I was delighted to find this 2 CD set. Wow, her voice is flawless here. But then I enjoy her earlier albums the most, so this is perfect for me. A very fine band backs her up, with lots of upbeat, fast and brassy numbers. I understand Peggy Lee has great crossover attraction, much like Sinatra and Martin, her esteem has only grown as time rolls on. This is a record I can easily recommend to friends that aren't interested in Golden Age vocalists.
