1.0 out of 5 stars These are NOT the 1950s recordings! Listen before you buy., February 9, 1999

If you are expecting to hear the same recordings you heard as a teenager in the 1950s, this is not the CD you want.

1.0 out of 5 stars Eddie Fisher-Las Vegas, August 22, 2000

Guess I should have checked this one more closely-not the original recordings. Although the sound is better, these renditions sound like a modern performance he might have done in Las Vegas backed up by a casino band. I feel like I got ripped off on this one

The cover on this MCA disc says "Eddie's first CD". Perhaps for them it was, but it contains remakes of some of Eddie's early hits at a later time in his career. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Here he feels free to give more of an interpretation of the songs which I enjoyed. His voice is somwhat deeper but he can still belt out the high notes and at times he does his (in)famous Jolson "imitation". What I missed most was the Hugo Winterhalter Orchestral accompanyments. The unnamed orchestra on this CD is adequate, but nowhere near the great arrangements of the original--especially on "Wish You were Here". If you can pick up a used copy of this CD as I did for the songs I did not have in my collection, you get your money's worth. Otherwise stick to the original versions of the hits which are available from RCA and Taragon. They really show why Eddie Fisher was the most popular male singer of the early 1950's.
