5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a One Hit Wonder!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2012

This 2-CD set is outstanding in every measurable way! It includes MANY great selections which are generally not available unless you are inclined to pay a lot of money for other pieces which you do not particularly care for. Included, among others, are Mouret's Rondo (Masterpiece Theatre Theme), Bocherini's Minuet in A, Clarke's Trumpet Voluntary, Massenet's Meditation from Thais, Delibe's Flower Duet, Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana, Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto, Waldteufel's Skaters' Waltz, Ippolitov-Ivanov's Procession of the Sardar, Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours, Alfven's Swedish Rhapsody, Kobolevsky's Galop, Gliere's Russian Sailors' Dance, Orff's O Fortuna and many other delightful picks.

These delights are not offered up by a bunch of obscure musicians, either. Represented on these discs are the likes of the Berlin Philharmonic, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Academy of Saint Martin-in-the-Fields, the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Eastman-Rochester "Pops" Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and several other equally notable groups as well as conductors and performers like Karajan, Marriner, Neeme Jarvi, Kiri Ti Kanawa, Lynn Harrell, Bernstein, Rodzinski, James Levine, Dorati, Fennell and a bevy of other brilliant performers.

The quality of the sound on these two discs is magnificent. The mid-range price makes this set a must-have bargain! If I could give it more than five stars, I would not hesitate to do so. Highest recommendation.

I was born and raised during the Golden Age of Rock and Roll. Rock and roll was first aired when I was age three, so I was steeped in the Golden Oldies. My favorite time of rock music was from 1964 through 1972. These were the best years in my opinion and whoever loved the music from that period will love this CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sometimes obscure journey back
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2008

This is an enjoyable, eclectic trip down the road to yesteryear, but I can't really call this "mainstream." It's a soundtrack to an imaginary movie that nobody has ever made. The variety of styles take you to different places, depending on how long you've been around, but you don't have to be a certain age to appreciate this material. It really gripes me when some kid doesn't realize that Paul McCartney and George Harrison were in the same band, if they have even heard of them at all. They say things like, "...well, that's before my time..." BULL! Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry were before "my time," and I like them just fine. None of this material is new, and despite the digital age, it sounds old. But not in the bad sense. I am of the age where I remember these selections first-hand, and felt threatened when they phased out vinyl records (weren't 8-tracks a trip?); If nothing else, the tactile experience of opening the record you just bought, usually for about $5.00 ($7.00 if it were a double record), seeing a lyric sheet, sometimes a poster, promotional materials, and elaborate artwork are a thing of the past, unless you pay beaucoups bucks for a huge box-set; it's now more common than it was a few years ago, but it's just not the same.

For the most part, these selections are just what the title says it is; "One Hit Wonders." For the most part, they have all done other material, but these are what you will most likely hear on the radio (some stations specialize in "Oldies") from these people.

For the most part, they are basic feel-good songs ("Come On To My Boat," "Reach Out Of The Darkness," etc), and some silly "fluff;" it's hard to believe "Dominique" was an actual "hit." You have the obligatory novelty record, Bobby Pickett's "Monster Mash," still a staple on oldies stations, especially around Halloween, and the bizarre (but really cool) "Jungle Fever," some mellow crooning material, and a few heavy-hitters to boot. "Reflections Of My Life" is still an extremely emotional, introspective song, even this many years later...and then you have Coven's "One Tin Soldier," the reason I bought this disc. There is a better version out there somewhere, on some 70's compilation record, I will find it some day, but the one here suffices just fine; I LOVE this song. It's one of those selections that is usually accompanied with people screaming "...Turn It DOWN!..." I know, I have never grown up.

The generic packaging, and limited (not really LIMITED, I guess) format sort of knocked a star off for me, but I am not complaining. I am glad I bought this disc, and will probably get several more in this, and similar series.

"...one tin soldier rides away..."

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy It If Only For Come On Down To My Boat
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2013

This compilation is worth buying if only for Every Mother's Son performing 'Come On Down To My Boat' - a definitive hip disco/bubblegum hit from 1967 and featured in the opening of the Man From Uncle movie, The Karate Killers.

Not only that, at this price it is unbelievable value. I also enjoyed Bobby Pickett's 'Monster Mash' as well as Marmalade's 'Reflections Of My Life' which I already had on another disk.

The best thing about CDs like this is that they bring you back to the time you first heard these songs. Who can deny the pleasure of reminiscing? This CD is begging you to buy it and reminisce!

The songs on it were some of the ones I wanted, but some of the songs didn't sound like the originals. I guess it's hard to tell, when they say it's a certain artist, whether it's the version you're so familiar with hearing, until you actually listen to it.

Some great tracks, some 'Dominique' and the much wanted (for more anyway) Come On Down To My Boat' by Every Mother's Son, which I know from it's appearance in the Man From UNCLE spin-off movie 'The Karate Killers'. Quite a few tracks are recordings by the original artists but the two previously mentioned tracks are definitely the originals.
Overall good but not great.
