CD Reviews

The Complete Dino 1946-55
Scott T. Rivers | Los Angeles, CA USA | 12/04/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)

""Memories Are Made of This" is a beautifully packaged 8-CD set that provides a detailed overview of Dean Martin's early recordings. Admittedly, not all the songs are gems, but the obscure singles from the late 1940s reveal a self-assured vocalist whose style was truly his own. In retrospect, Dino was a more versatile singer than Frank Sinatra - he could perform Italian love songs, country, jazz, blues and pop standards. When listening to Martin's version of "I Don't Care If the Sun Don't Shine," you can hear some of the vocal stylings that Elvis Presley would utilize in his remake at Sun Records. The duets with Peggy Lee and Nat King Cole are priceless, but the same cannot be said for the irritating novelty recordings with Jerry Lewis. Apart from the title track, perhaps the best song in the collection is Dino's stirring interpretation of "Come Back to Sorrento." If you're a Martin fan with only a few of his CDs, you will save a lot of money if you purchase this box set. The Bear Family has done a masterful job in restoring Dean Martin to his proper place in the history of popular music."
Fabulous!

"I thought a lot about buying this because of the price, but now that I have it in my hot little hands, I wish I would have bought it sooner. I love it -- I have now put the other box sets on my "list"! Dean is truly my all time favorite singer and I adore his older recordings. You can't find a better collection."
Great.

"Highly recommended. Audio quality is great (with obvious allowances for some tracks given the source material). Also includes the old movie songs."
