Synopsis

Album Description

Full title: Sweet Dreams: The Complete Decca Studios Masters [1960 - 1963] (2010 US 51-track digitally remastered 2-CD album set - In 1960, after five years of recording with 4 Star [distributed via Decca Records], Patsy Cline signed directly to Decca Records and producer Owen Bradley. Having been limited by 4 Star's insistence on dominating the copyrights of the songs she was recording. Owen & Patsy immediately looked more broadly for material, and their first three song session under the new contract instantly produced gold in 'I Fall To Pieces', her first Country #1 and her first charting recording in almost three years. The next year also produced her classic 'Crazy' and 'She's Got You', and Patsy Cline's star has shone brightly ever since. All she needed was the right material, and Owen Bradley and Decca provided it. Unfortunately, that illustrious combination was only to last until Patsy died in a plane crash at age 30 in March 1963. By then, she had recorded the 51 masters on this new collection, and these 51 tracks have become the crown jewels in this country Queen's recorded legacy. From standards to country classics, from Cole Porter and Irving Berlin to Willie Nelson and Hank Williams, the songs, Bradley's full-bodied productions, and Patsy's performances shine throughout. 'Sweet Dreams' is elaborated on by a series of remarkable period photos and insightful sleevenotes by Colin Escott

CD Reviews

Deluxe Disaster

Gideon | Italy | 06/10/2010

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This new double cd by Patsy Cline is a real treat. It contains all the studio masters that the country-pop diva recorded for Decca between 1960 and 1963, the year of her tragic, untimely death.

The sound is lovingly remastered and the music is never short of marvellous, with songs gently propelled by crisp, shuffling rhythms and dappled by perfectly poised strings and steel guitars. The vocal performances are obviously stunning, Patsy's voice wringing every nuance from these pristine lyrics about melancholy love. The set is also completed by a lavish booklet, filled with detailed liner notes and beautiful black and white photos.

So why are we giving "Sweet Dreams" only four stars?

That is easily explained: when we opened our limited edition digipack we discovered that it was IMPOSSIBLE to remove the cds from their trays. You know how it works: you press lightly on the tray center and the cd usually slips out. Nothing of the sort happened this time: we had to press and press until both trays CRACKED right in the middle and we were finally able to "free" the discs, which we duly lodged in a spare jewel case.

We were then luckly enough to be able to remove the tray debris without damaging the cd cover on which they had been glued. After a good hour's work, we gloriously managed to start our Patsy Cline listening session.

Therefore beware: this cd is a musical treasure, but it also contains a devilish tray device that will have you destroy the original package in order to access the music.

There was probably a better tray model to choose for this deluxe edition. Apparently, no one at Geffen thought about it."
