"and the good people at Collector's Choice Music. The loyal masses who have long suffered and waited for Dean's Reprise albums will wait no longer; they're all available now! Here are two of Dean's gold albums on one fine CD. Riding the wave of the hugely popular "Hit Sound" from arranger/conductor Ernie Freeman and producer Jimmy Bowen, Dean undertook these two albums with full force. The first, the "DOOR IS STILL OPEN" sides, find Dean making wonderful music on the title track, not to mention his take on a popular song of the day, "WE'LL SING IN THE SUNSHINE", which seems tailor made to fit his easy swingin' approach (the original was considerably more folksy, and thus, not quite as happy-go-lucky as Dean's) The "sing-a-long" motif behind the country-tinged "CLINGING VINE" is classic Dean; as is the tender yet driving ballad "ALWAYS TOGETHER". The "REMEMBER ME" sides are just as wonderful, especially Dean's take on the Roger Miller hit "KING OF THE ROAD". Also included here is Dean's TV Theme song, "WELCOME TO MY WORLD". More covers here with Dean's own indelible stamp on them: "BORN TO LOSE" (immortalized by Ray Charles) and even the Donny Osmond semi hit "THE BIRDS AND THE BEES" as only Dean could deliver! THIS, my friends is, as Dino would say, AMORE. Original liner notes and album artwork included from the people at Collector's Choice. There are 11 other such volumes like this...get'em all!"

Nice Collection in the Dino Style

"If you like Dean Martin's style of singing, this is a nice collection. The CD is a reissue of two of his older albums. It includes some of his standards as well as some less well known pieces. The transfer is of good quality and so is the album."

AGAIN,ONE LESSER,ONE GOOD

"THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN TO MY HEART is the lesser one with a few hits and a lot of fillers, and again a few songs from the country albums of 1963.The pleasant surprize is WE'LL SING IN THE SUNSHINE.REMEMBER ME is the good one ,in which DEAN has fun with some modern standards of the time.Also included are BUMMING AROUND,one of his national anthems,MY SHOES KEEP WALKING BACK TO YOU and WALK ON BY(both wonderful).DINO'S fans will love this LP.It is a perfect selection of songs for him.Wouldn't it have been nice if they had coupled all the good albums together and left the others with a stamp labeled LEFTOVERS-COLLECTORS ITEMS?"
