5.0 out of 5 starsA Must Have Item for any Al Jolson Fan
By Lonnie D. Chevrie on June 18, 2006
Format: Audio CD
I was so pleased to receive this item as a gift for Fathers Day. This 3CD Deluxe Edition contains many of the songs I have listened to from The Jolson Story and Jolson Sings Again, but are in there original presentations free from the Movie makers arrangements to compliment the story line. It was so refreshing to hear such a crisp and clear delivery from the Legendary Al Jolson accompanied with outstanding instrumentals. Many of Al's early works are included in this set, but with outstanding clarity. I have heard some of his early deliveries and the sound quality wasn't very good when reproduced on a CD. I was very impressed with all of the sound reproductions included in this outstanding 3CD set. If you are an Al Jolson Fan, you will certainly do yourself a huge disservice if you do not purchase this item. It is the best set of Al Jolson recordings that I have ever heard.

5.0 out of 5 starsAl Jolson sings with unfailing honesty and warmth...
By Matthew G. Sherwin HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on July 18, 2007
Format: Audio CD
This three CD set of songs by Al Jolson will delight any Jolson or vaudeville fan. The three CDs total up to a whopping 60 tracks although, as some have noted, these are not the original recordings Jolson made of these classic numbers. Sure, they're not the original recordings--they probably do come from the 1940s and they've been remastered. However, they shine because they have been remastered; this lets us hear what Jolson really sounded like when he performed. Moreover, these recordings from the latter part of his life give us a more mature, seasoned Jolson which compensates for the absence of any older recordings for this set.

The first CD starts with the relentlessly upbeat number "When The Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin' Along." Love those horns! Al's voice is clear and he delivers this one with strength and style. "Swanee" was a frequent favorite with Al's audiences; Al sings this with an electric amount of energy to make this song his very own. Al's excellent diction enhances his performance. Al also gives a rousing performance of "Give My Regards To Broadway;" "Toot Toot Tootsie (Goo'bye)" and "California Here I Come." The chorus on "Give My Regards To Broadway" harmonizes to perfection and this bolsters the number.

In addition, the first CD features Al singing "My Mammy," a tune made famous by Al's singing it in the The Jazz Singer, the first major "talkie" film ever. Al's spoken introduction is flawless and when he breaks into song Al positively takes flight! Awesome!

The second CD continues to showcase Al Jolson's talents. "When You Were Sweet Sixteen" charms me with its beauty and simplicity. The melody relies on the violins and this works well for this ballad. "Dirty Hands, Dirty Face" appears to be one of the earlier recorded tracks for this set.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsJolson fan
By Marvin Levine on June 5, 2007
Format: Audio CD
Al Jolson was a phenomenal success as an entertainer during the vaudville years and in early films (app 1915-1935). He had a voice and style that was youthful and energetic. This was the hallmark of the great Al Jolson. You get very little of that Jolson in this boxed set. Most of the songs (47 in this set of 60) were from recordings made in the late '40's after his film biographies. The voice is an octave lower than the original Jolson voice and the style is a bit tired. Add a third star if you like the songs. But if you want to hear the style and voice that made Jolson great you'll find very little of it in this set.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood overview
By Hardyboys.us on April 19, 2007
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
"Golden Years of Al Jolson" presents the listener with a good overview of the work of the great Al Jolson.

The sound quality of these CDs is first-rate.

Many of these tracks don't appear to be the original hits but they are very well done and a real pleasure to listen to.

Jolie even teams up with Bing Crosby for a couple of tunes!

3.0 out of 5 starsI am not happy with the sound
By George Ferrick on July 15, 2015
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Having listen to these recordings all my life, I have to say, I am not happy with the sound. I have all the Decca Lp's and the Brunswick 78's. These transfers in many cases do not sound like the originals. Some of the Decca's have added reverb, maybe they were transfered from the "enhanced for stereo" lp's, other's have constricted sound, no highs or lows. The Brunswicks all have harsh sound to them as though the highs are pushed up to sound closer to the sound of the Decca's made 20 years later. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the order of the selections. If you have to have a collection, this has only passable sound but a good price, so it will have to do until a better collection of transfers are show up.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood Overview of His Post 20's Recordings
By 1937Forever on January 11, 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
This is the best sounding collections of Jolson that I have heard & bought a second set for a friend to replace several other individual CD's that had almost all the same songs. A lot of the music appears to be originally recorded as transcriptions & is refreshing to hear some of the same famous songs just slightly different. I also like the earlier Jolson (He did not commercially record for much of the 30's) and do wish that the music was chronologically arranged since there is probably half on one CD that has some of this, too.

5.0 out of 5 starsmusic lover
By Kathleen Wilcox on January 5, 2007
Format: Audio CD
The product was in excellent condition. Al Jolsen's singing is so clear and beautiful. It is like he is singing for you in the same room. It's fun to listen to the old songs. It's songs are in a whole different century. I think some of the songs have funny words in them. They make you laugh and feel good. If you want to hear real talent, buy this. You will never hear a voice like this before. "A MAN WHO LOVED TO SING"!
