Love Serenade 1996

This set is a must have not only for the hardcore fans of Demis Roussos, but also for anyone with deep interest in pop music in general, and for any collector. The set actually consist not 28, but 31 original solo Demis Roussos albums (3 of them are added as bonuses), plus many non-album bonus tracks and rarities. The variety of musical styles represented here, covering 40 years of recording solo career is so vast, and the voice and the arrangements are so different in the respective periods and genres, that makes one wonders is this the same artist on all these recordings. Prog-rock, psychedelic, ethno pop, folk, reggae, real American disco, euro pop, funk, Latin vibes, krautrock, techno pop, French chansons and German Schlagers, new age, soul, vintage rock…and all this sung with a voice ranging from soaring warble, trough powerful full bodied sound, to gravelly soulful Joe Cocker – like delivery.

This 20-track British compilation contains some of Dinah Shore's earliest recordings, originally released on RCA Victor Records and its subsidiary Bluebird between 1940 and 1942. Some of Shore's hits of the period are included, among them "Blues in the Night," "I Hear a Rhapsody," and "Yes, My Darling Daughter." But many of her other hits are missing, and the bulk of the set consists of her covers of songs that were hits for others, such as "You and I" (Glenn Miller), "Down Argentina Way" (Bob Crosby), and "Manhattan Serenade" (Tommy Dorsey). Even at this early stage, Shore's Southern charm is on display on songs like "Honeysuckle Rose," presaging the hits from later in the decade that would make her the most popular female singer on records of the 1940s.

This set of 20 CDs presents virtually everything that was recorded by Steinberg during the seven years that he recorded for Capitol: from the Schubert Second Symphony, recorded on 9 February 1952, to the Italian Serenade by Wolf, from 16 April 1959. There are some exceedingly good performances in this set and the recordings show that Capitol Records were at the technical forefront when it came to sound quality and production values.

Lyman's debut album, recorded shortly after he left Martin Denny's group, was almost as popular as the concurrent releases by his former mentor, reaching the Top Ten. Purists may hang me for this, but I honestly don't detect much difference between Lyman's late '50s releases and Denny's…
