Once there were greenfields
01/18/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"A truly amazing collection of wonderful music from the pre-rock days! This album has it all: Frank Chacksfields "Ebb tide" (1953), Nelson Riddle's Lisbon Antigua (#1 in 1956) and there's even the immortal, enchanting "April in Portugal" (#1 in 1955). Not to mention Percy Faith's "Delicado" - what a delicious toe-tapper it still is! Makes me go back to the days when really enjoyable music became big hits. OK, I'm pushing 60, so I'm prejudiced. But for a guy my age, this collection is priceless. If you're part of the post-war generation, don't hesitate, buy this CD. You won't regret it, instead, you will play it over and over. Yeah, it's true, they don't make hits like this anymore..."

"These disks capture - with the original artists - the heart of the music that warmed me in the 50's. The selections - held in the fairly consistent mood that was popular instrumentals of the 50's yield over an hour of timetravel listening to the songs as they were first played. I'll be sending these out to folks for Christmas this year. These are meant to be shared."
