5.0 out of 5 stars best ever Everly's compendium available, October 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Everly Borthers Best (Audio CD)

This long-postponed and finally newly-reissued greatest hits disc by one on the truly pioneering acts of rock is another godsend from DCC Compact Classics. All the clasics are here--"When Will I Be Loved", "Bird Dog", "Wake Up Little Suzie", et.al.---In best-ever sound. A perfect compliment to the Rhino "Cadence Classics" compilation, which it nearly duplicates in track selection, sacrificing two songs from that set but making up for it by including the immortal "Cathy's Clown", recorded later for Warner Brothers. Get both CDs and don't miss out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but..., June 21, 2001

Rob Damm - See all my reviews

This review is from: Everly Borthers Best (Audio CD)

Of course, the music is absolutely great. Songs like "all I have to do is dream", "Bye Bye Love", and "When Will I be Loved" are so much a part of the public imagination, it's great to sit back and listen to why they were great in the first place. The sound is wonderful, warm, spacious, a step above and beyond any other EB compilation on the market. The stereo cuts are especially great. "Send a message to mary" could be used as reference for setting up a stereo, it's so well engineered. As the cut begins you should hear the boys singing together hard left, if you are in the sweet spot, they should "feel" almost uncomfortably close, and although in perfect harmony, each voice should be clearly discernable, as if they were beside you--- bass starts in hard right, percussion *dead* center, then things get complicated-- guitar flourishes and tons of inner detail a good stereo will resolve. Whew! They don't make 'em like that anymore! The natural quality of the voice gives new meaning to the term "magical midrange" this is DCC's best project sonically since the "All Time Best of Roy Orbison" It's amazing how much info Steve Hoffman extracts from antedelluvian master tapes! My gripe? Well, I feel kind of cheated-- it could be longer with more songs, and I really, really, wish they had included more tracks in stereo! I know it's not historically correct, but it sure would sound good!

5.0 out of 5 stars Audio heaven, March 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Everly Borthers Best (Audio CD)

Sure, all the great hits are on here, but the real difference-maker over other compilations is the sound. DCC turns out a great product and this gold cd is true to form. The intricate layering of the gorgeous harmonies is right there to be heard in all its glory. Hard to believe that recordings made in the late '50s can sound this good. This is the one to buy.
