5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful collection of music, April 17, 2009

As a mid to late 40 something, these songs are old friends. The songs are timeless for the generation and beyond and are grouped nicely. Such collections are great for the mp3 players. Different artist, different sounds makes for shuffle play as you are driving along or having background music when having guest over.

Amazon = good price + prompt and reliable shipping.

A month later I would add, that this is the best of the best. For example Neil Sedaka's "Laughter in the Rain" is hugely superb on this track, and the cut from his greatest hit album does not compare. This is a great compilation and is comprised of the best recordings of the same.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality With One Glitch, May 27, 2009

By	Richard Lane "Frequent Reader" (Hillsborough, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

At a fraction of the price direct from Time-Life, the Amazon product is a real bargain. The songs are all extremely high quality, and they sound better than a few I've heard as MP3's.

What was curious was an apparent manufacturing defect. On one disk, the songs were exactly what was listed on the CD label, however the files had completely incorrect filenames and info. Just for example, the song, "Please Come to Boston" was on the disk as the file "Make Me An Island." The final track is labeled just "Track 15" on the file directory but actually contains, "All By Myself." Thus if you want to import these into your computer (as fair use), you'll find everything all wrong unless you manually change the titles in your folder directory. I can't even imagine how that might happen!

Other than that glitch, we're very happy with the product and with the vendor. Service was excellent and delivery was fast. I really like about half the tunes; my wife really likes the other half. So, there's something for everybody here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Romancing the 70s., September 12, 2009

By	David Share "Book Fan" (Los Angeles USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw the ad on TV for this set and was impressed and bought the set. After listening to several of the discs I'm disappointed. The sound quality is very good, so if you like these songs then it's great for you. I found their choice is not what I would have chosen. If you are going to buy it make sure you do so through Amazon as it's far less expensive than from TV.
