Whatta shame!

"The audio quality on a lot of these songs sounds like what you'd get if you recorded your favorite Doris Day records by playing them on your stereo and then put a mike in the middle of the living room to pick up the sound. Murky and echoy. This CD also contains the strangest song for duet I've ever heard, "How Lovely Cooks the Meat!?!?!?!," since Sinatra sang "Mama Will Bark" with Dagmar for Columbia. While I'm mentioning Sinatra, there's a similar collection "Duets with the Dames" by this same outfit that I was going to pick up, but after suffering through the poor production values of this CD; I'm giving it a wide pass. What could have been two finds for both artist's fans instead just turns out to be a crying shame."

Much better than the earlier review implies

"I don't understand the one-star rating the other reviewer gave this. It sounds just fine to me, and has a number of tracks that are quite hard to find. As a certifiable Doris Day fan, I have to give it a much higher rating, and recommend it to other Day fans and fans of late-40's-early-50's music.
