Search - Dionne Warwick :: Platinum & Gold Collection

Nice collection of songs for a budget release

"This compilation focuses on Dionne's Arista singles with one track included from each of her previous labels ("I'll Never Fall In Love Again" from Scepter and "Then Came You" from Warner). The remastering plays quite loud but there is pretty clear quality on most of the songs; however, "Friends In Love" and "Some Changes Are For Good" have abrupt fade-outs that are not true to the original masters. Fans will want this for sake of completeness but it's not an essential, although the cover is indeed lovely. Also, I wish Arista would reissue her albums on CD (perhaps with single versions, bsides, alternate versions, or other unreleased goodies) even if only limited edition pressings!"

"There's no one on U.S. Top 40 radio that can top this CD of stellar singles! I can't name favourites because I love them all! This is music that can stand the test of time! Even though these song were recorded in the 70's and 80's, you would not know because none of the song are dated. Her vocals is great throughout the entire CD. Recommended to those that don't know of her music and those who enjoy music of class and substance."
