You may ask why only 4 stars?? Out of the 50 tracks on this great 2 CD set, I would have chosen other tracks than some that are on this set. However, I am highly pleased with the quantity of tracks, many of the originals I love. The price was great for this number of song selections, and included a great package insert as an added bonus. And the remastering, in my opinion, was so good in some of the tracks, I heard sounds on some familiar tunes I had never heard before. "Remastering" the Master, Tom Jones, is hard to do. Bar none, he is the master of his craft. Highly recommended !!
This album is a must have for the true fan. It has every one of his popular singles. This includes The Man Who Knows Too Much, which I could never find. It also had several that I had never heard. I just love it though because it is the definitive collection.
I am very disappointed in the quality of these 2 CDs (set), the sound is poor like an old 45rpm record. Had to turn volume up full blast to even get a facsimile of the Tom I remember. If you're looking for a trip down memory lane, don't buy this albumn as you'll be disappointed. It does a dis-service to this fine singer's depth and range. The shipping/handling fee caused this item to be 2X the listed price as it apparently came over from Holland. Dutch treat? NOT
