Doesn't do Cole justice...

(2 out of 5 stars)
"Great songs, but the quality is terrible. You think they would try to re-master the recordings...nope, not here. They just put a bunch of old 78 sounding vinyl tracks onto a CD. Nothing more. Then they dress it up with a "Platinum Collection" title. With two discs you think you would get something nicer than that. Let's put it this way, these aren't definitive recordings. This CD is by some knock-off company which is apparently based out of London, England. Not only are the CDs bad, but there is a terrible write up about him. Just atrocious how the writer depicts Porter. Also, there are a ton of misspellings and some of the tracks aren't even right. For example the song "Just One of Those Things" is on the album credited as Frank Sinatra. The recording is definitely not Sinatra. It is a woman. So, bad quality recordings, bad quality write up= take a pass. I shouldn't even be giving this two stars, but Porter's song-writing is fantastic."
