CD Reviews

The Beat Goes On and so do The Hits Reissues
Terry D. Robertson | Asheville, NC USA | 10/21/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Yes this contains some of her platinum hits and it is also on an import label with the same name and there is nothing new here including the often-used "More Italian Favorites" cover. Nostalgia is big money, so target Connie. She had 65 chart topping hits in the US alone. And it is always every country but the US to put out a steady stream of reissues and unfortunately, they are so similiar to this. How many times can you recycle her hits albeit she had more than most female singers. The same story, different cover, varying sound quality, but usually the same material. Look to some of the UK packaging of her latter Lp work--her finest such as THE WORLD OF CONNIE FRANCIS, THE ULTIMATE CONNIE FRANCIS or if you want a nice diverse and more comprehensive budget hits package GOLD and pass this one up.



One thing this disc utilizes is it does not add her terrible Malaco remakes of her hits in 89. This disc also has been in print under two different covers in HDCD and that was the selling gimmick. Great sound. This is a cut down version and is not remastered for optimal sound.



Overall, I'll say it again: "Connie Francis in print is better than Connie Francis not in print". Give me an enema to purge me of all these hit reissues and put THAT on my headstone."
