5.0 out of 5 stars SWEET NOSTALGIA, May 9, 2003

By

This CD was a great buy, and worth every dollar spent. I'm saying this for the simple fact that this beautiful music never dies and is more "Golden" as time passes by.

For years I've loved the music of the fifties, and some of it is so hard to get,I'm thankful that Amazon still carries music of these treasured long ago artistes. The tunes are catchy and it is this music which gives me that sweet nostalgia, as it was all I ever heard when I was growing up. Reliving these memories is something too great for words....goosebumps and all.

On this particular CD I also enjoyed "HE" which is a religious one and has been a favourite of mine for years. I recommend this
for all those who love and still enjoy the Olden Goldies. I did.

This review is from: The McGuire Sisters - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

As a little kid born in the fifties, "Sugartime" was one of the first songs I remember hearing on our radio. I rediscovered the beautiful harmonies of these sisters in the seventies, listening on oldies radio. I owned a couple of their LP's back then, then had a couple of cassettes.

Like another reviewer, the amazing thing about the McGuire sisters' recordings is their fantastic sound quality. These sound so vibrant, so recent on CD! This is remastering at its best. For me, this CD sounds best on my car audio system, so realistic it could be a demo tape.

For my money, this trio is as good as it got in the fifties, embodying the clean, 'American' sound with all its optimism and confidence. Will we ever see this type of aural beauty again? We can only hope. In the meantime, treasure this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Recording Making, May 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The McGuire Sisters - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

The McGuire Sisters made more great records than you might think. The people at Coral understood perfectly the trio's harmonies, inventiveness and ability to do anything from the most dramatic ballad to the nutsiest novelty with style and appeal. Dick Jacobs' orchestrations was the fourth Sister in a way and the ladies usually were recorded in the same place--a temple in New York City with fantastic acoustics. The McGuires approached recordings creatively--they were about much more than hits (their albums prove that). They got out at least four dozen single sides worth hearing--the best of it is all here, beautifully mastered and still great.
