"The Land of Nostalgia has released yet another sparkling gem in the treasure chest of Connie Francis recordings. Along with her Bacarach release, Japan has paid great honor on Connie's 50th year as a recording artist and they have chosen her best live recording on a major label. This one is a beaut! It is remastered in 24 bit technology and you become part of the audience at this wonderful concert by the greatest and one of the most successful female singers of all time. It's pricey but it's well worth it! You won't be sorry. Only one very minor complaint with the packaging. The inner paper sleeve is difficult to manipulate and the cardboard cover will not fit in a standard CD carry case. Big deal. Universal in America needs to open their eyes. They have a goldmine just lying around in their vault and not taking advantage of it. there are many people who have been looking for Connie's later material on CD since it's inception--and it's not happening. Get with it and cut the tired "hits" reissues--everyone has them in one form or another! Hello Universal USA are you out there listening? I hope so."

"In 1945 Americans exported Enola Gay to Japan. In 2005 they have to import Connie Francis from Japan."
