CD Reviews

Superb remastering/remixing
Luigi Facotti | Chicago Il | 11/04/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"While it is easy to dismiss Barry White as a final gasp to what some consider as the robotic sounds of the disco era - macho overboard or Mantovani on steroids, this boxed set is outstanding. It highlights the musicianship, the craft and the soul that drove Barry White as the West Coast counterpoint of Memphis' Black Moses.

The remastering and remixes really open out the soundstage and add a new dimension to the music. The previous collected works of Mr. White (Just for You, Mercury, 1992) while good do not have the impact of these 4 CDs and 1 DVD. There is a depth to the music that makes it come alive - and envelop. A must have for any soul music collection and, as one of the other reviews highlights, pass on the mp3 - the CDs are the real thing."

All those sultry soul tunes together for the first time!

"This is a soul music fan's dream! While there's nothing particularly wrong with single disc greatest hits collections, when you want to dig deeper into a classic artist's work and really get a full career overview, a box set is worth the investment. This one is no exception, in fact, there's quite a bit of stuff here that I had never heard and love, especially the extended versions. Three minutes doesn't always do Barry's genius justice."
