Customer Reviews

A little-known but exceptional box set!
All I can say is "Wow!" The sound quality here eclipses the four-CD "Proper" set. If you're new to Bing Crosby, then this is the box set to purchase. Not only does it give you a fine overview of Bing's career, the price can't be beat. The packaging of the CD is excellent and it even includes a little booklet with a synopsis of Bing's career and musical style, as well as an explanation of his tremendous musical impact upon the 20th century.

The song selection is pretty decent, with some conspicuous omisions and an occasional curious choice for inclusion, but the sheer number of songs is amazing. Another prominent label has released a Bing complilation with an edited version of "Dinah," where the Mill Brothers are cut out of the song. No such foolishness here; the complete version of "Dinah" is included.

Other reviewers have complained about the sound quality on this set. I am puzzled at this criticism. I have most of these songs on casette, vinyl and some even on their original 78 and 45 issues. The sound quality here is quite acceptable and good on most tracks. This set will give you many hours of enjoyable listening and help you branch off into other Crosby CD's which includes his lesser-known vocals. I highly recommend this boxed set. Enjoy!

Simply, Beautiful!
Didn't know what to expect from such a budget price set, the sound is clean and flawless,nice to see that quality can be done for such a reasonable ,i've ordered other Bing titles at the same time as this one, i hope thy are as good! Also, should be mentioned that i got this from the seller cdquest.com, which also runs the website by the same title, they shipped out lightning fast! i ordered days after some other titles and they so far are the first shipped! Very pleased all around!
