Editorial Reviews

The 20th Century Masters series is the best-selling single-artist line in music history and is being re-released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."

To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered. Official liner notes are easily accessible on the Internet at http://www.ilovethatsong.com/green.

UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam®, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam®.

Who could take the music of the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and other great artists of the 60's and improve on it. Answer -- Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66. If you are like me and older than fifty, then this CD contains all that you need to travel back in time and experience the wonderful moments of your teenage summers. If you are younger, then sit back and pour yourself a margarita and imagine you are on a terrace of a swank hotel in Nassau. This music is forever. Most CDs have only a few songs worth the purchase price. All the songs here are great. The music is so smooth and the female voices are so clear. Included is the less known Chove Chuva (Constant Rain) with a sitar!

I first bought this album in 1966 when it was released on "vinyl". Lost it in the divorce so was glad to find it on CD. Still a great listen.

This is a great CD! It evokes great first-love memories with its undercurrents of discovery, wonder and romance. I completely agree with another reviewer-this music =is= forever. I'm giving it as a gift to friends who, like me, really value this music. Each composition is well-written and perfectly-delivered--the music, beat and vocals unite seamlessly and wonderfully.
