2.0 out of 5 stars Curb--as always, the Worst Reissue Label In The Universe, October 7, 2002
By Jeff Pearlman (Lakeland, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In which the record company implies that the artist has only turned out 12 songs worth compiling in five decades. Does this disc even run longer than 30 minutes? The dumbness within the dumbness is that these songs actually span about 30 years. Which according to most number systems is kinda not five decades.

If you're this interested, go for Rhino's 30th Anniversary Collection. For five bucks more, you get 24 hits instead of the 12 Curb parcels out. All but the last three tracks here are there as well. Frustratingly, Curb manages to include one key hit (to these ears, anyway) not on the Rhino set--"Hold Me Til The Morning Comes" is a great ballad (to these ears, anyway) featuring Peter Cetera on backing vocals. It nicked the Top 40 (peaking at #40) in 1983, making Anka one of the few artists to hit in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's. Its presence here justifies, unfortunately, the existence of this skimpy thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC 5 DECADES, July 4, 2000
By A Customer
MR. ANKA'S VOICE HAS ONLY GOTTEN BETTER WITH AGE. THIS CD DOESN'T HAVE EVERY HIT HE EVER WROTE BUT THE ONES IT DOES INCLUDE ARE FANTASTIC. WELL WORTH THE MONEY. ONE OF MY FAVORITES, "HOLD ME TILL THE MORING COMES" IS TRULY AN ANKA CLASSIC. DON'T MISS THIS ONE.

2.0 out of 5 stars Paul Anka Gold, April 26, 2003
By wayne balzer (portland, oregon United States) - See all my reviews
What I want to know is does anyone know of a CD collection that contains Paul's original ABC hits from 1957-61? There used to be a label called Sire which had such a collection but unless one can find it as vinyl in some used record store, its unavailable. Its a shame, because the CD thats on my left, the "21 golden hits" version on RCA are all remakes, which sound terrible. Even Paul, I've read, regretted making it.
