Disappointing

"I bought this cd, prior to the track listing becoming available. I was hoping that it would contain the songs he recorded for other labels other than epic. IT did not. And the sound quality on the other available cd is much better, plus the other has more songs. Get Complete Epic recordings, not this one."

Sonically dreadful!

"The sound quality of this collection detracts from the performances of the tracks. It's not that they're mono (which can sound good, with care in remastering), but the tracks are muddy and lacking in both the high and low ends. Sad that even though Sal wasn't the greatest singer, he had charisma, and these poorly mastered tracks elminate even that. This sounds like these tracks were mastered on the fly because they weren't officially liscensed. I don't recommend this collection -- your money would be much better spent purchasing the other collection of Sal's tracks."

"Although offering a fine & complete collection of the recordings of Sal Mineo, 'Secret Doorway' should stand as irrefutable proof of the inevitable: he may be cute-as-a-button -- and indisputably a fine actor! -- but Sal Mineo just can't sing! For die-hard fans only!"
