1.0 out of 5 stars CAVEAT EMPTOR! BUYERS BEWARE! October 3, 2005

By D. Tucker

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

The release of this CD appears to be an opportunity for cashing in on the unique and lasting popularity of Kyu's huge UK & US hit "Sukiyaki". His memory and talent do not deserve such an obvious rush to cash in on his lasting popularity. British mobile phone customers can download his hit to their phones, thus this rush out the door of this poor compilation of his long and popular work. Thirteen of the twenty songs on this compilation are in MONO! Though there are a few gems on this CD (albeit in MONO), if you're only looking for a good quality "stereo" rendition of "Sukiyaki", I suggest "Hard to Find 45's on CD, Vol. 7: 60's Classics". The producers of this series have done their homework and deliver exceptional quality recordings. EMI Music is a Capitol Music label and should have taken their time to produce a higher quality product. BEWARE!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for a singer who is a legend January 3, 2007

By Joanne A. Vega

Format:Audio CD

This CD give some of Mr Sakamoto's best songs. For those who love 50's and 60's music I would recommend this CD. Of course it's better if you understand Japanese, but not necessary.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of a Japanese Legend. June 30, 2006

An outstanding collection of the man that brought us Sukiyaki, one of the top songs of the 60's.
