100 Hits Legends - Andy Williams

Gee what great value. Most of Andy Williams early hit recordings plus some that I asn't familiar with. And like most compilations many which I had forgotten about. Even if you have other CDs as I have , this is well worth the investment. A real bargain. This is my third purchase in this series of 100 hits, and never disappointed.

Package arrived very quickly & in very good condition

Very good 5cd.collection, 100 tracks, hits +more ,decent sound,cheap price on mkt/place.

Not really much to say about this other than Andy Williams at his best, good to have on for relaxing easy listening. Prompt delivery.

This 5cd boxed set is simply just ok. The first 3cds are original studio recordings from around 1956 to 1962. From my UK perspective, these are the most interesting as many were released on the UK London American label but all of them Barnaby original recordings. In both cases, this means the buyer is getting 60 tracks of original "A" and "B" side hits and misses and some early album tracks. The quality is excellent throughout and early Andy Williams recordings were pop songs rather than ballads. These three cds show the transition from pop to ballad and it would be the latter rather than the former Andy Williams was known for. What isn't obvious are the last two cds. Nowhere on the inner or outer packaging does the word 'live recording' appear. Had I seen 'live recording' anywhere, I would've gone elsewhere to purchase. The majority of tracks on both cds are 'live recordings' and, as great as they are, they are not the original CBS (in the UK) studio recordings we all know and love. If you are buying this set for his later hits such as 'Moon River' or 'Almost There' they are simply 'live' versions allbeit brilliantly performed and recorded but in some ways poorly edited and mastered. I believe the makers of this set should have clearly defined 'live recordings' somewhere obvious as customers are being led to believing they are all studio recordings which they're not. In any case, the UK CBS recordings - a better 'best of' - are available on cd elsewhere and which are studio recordings. I give the set three stars as just ok because that is how I see it. I am put off further purchases of these 100 Hits Legends because I fear the same may well occur again in another set which isn't good. I hope this will help.

A good overall compilation of Andy Williams work who I consider as the very best of the crooners. Great value for money

very good sound, fast delivery and price

Was brought as a gift for a friend. It was delivered in perfect condition. Can't ask more than that

DU BON ANDY WILLIAM

数年前に８２歳で亡くなりましたが、ハスキーボイスで歌が本当に上手くて、子供の頃家族でレコードを聞いた時から大好きなシンガーでした！アメリカという夢の国を感じさせてくれました。映画音楽は、その場面を彷彿とさせてくれます。こんなにさまざまな歌を聴けて、お得なセットです。

I know, I know.... Most Andy Williams fans already have most of these songs on other albums and collections. However- what makes this collection so appealing is the fact that it is very reasonably priced(much cheaper still on Amazon.co.uk!)and the majority of the songs are taken from live performances(they're a little different and "live" is always interesting!), mostly from his great tv series from the sixties. (I understand that he retained the rights to most of his live performances. Smart man!) The sound is fine and the booklet quite informative. If you love Andy, you need to buy this set! In fact, buy several, they'll make fine Christmas gifts!

Rien à dire super boules

Was a christmas gift, he likes it!
