Preisner's Music (best Of)

Best of 25 Years Revisited collects 20 remastered tracks from the bluesy British pop vocalist’s post-Yaz (or Yazoo) solo outings, spanning the years between her 1984 debut, Alf, through 2007’s Turn. The remasters sounds exceptional, and nearly all of her most notable singles are here, including “All Cried Out,” "That Olde Devil Called Love," “Weak in the Presence of Beauty," “Love Resurrection,” "Ordinary Girl,” and “Footsteps," but listeners just looking for the Yaz classic “Don’t Go” would be better off with 2003’s Essential compilation, as it contains the best of both worlds. Best of 25 Years Revisited also includes a second disc that features 11 live tracks.

Best of Bert Kaempfert isn't quite a comprehensive collection of Kaempfert's hits, but it will have special resonances to listeners of a certain age group, and it covers a few bases that would be missed by a strict adherence to chart placements. In addition to the expected hits such as "Wonderland by Night," "Three O'Clock in the Morning," "Somebody Loves Me," "Danke Schon," and "Red Roses for a Blue Lady," the producers have included several non-charting singles of high quality, such as "L-O-V-E (Love)" to illustrate the breadth of Kaempfert's work. The sound is excellent everything is crisp and clean, the trumpet sounds like it's about three feet from the listener and the annotation and discography information are also very thorough.
