CD ReviewsMastered from Vinyl.... Daniel W. Kelly | Long Island, NY United States | 01/13/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "My main reason for buying this compilation was to finally have Johnny's top ten hit "The Yellow Rose of Texas" on CD. Unfortunately, while much of the disc sounds very clean despite the use of vinyl records for mastering (which I didn't know until I got the disc), "Yellow Rose" suffers from the most noticeable hiss and noise. Much of the CD sounds very good though, and it's good to see an attempt made to preserve the songs. The note on the back of the disc reads "While every effort has been made to eliminate the surface noise from the original 78 rpm recordings used for this issue, including use of the CEDAR audio noise reduction system, some slight surface noise may remain."" A good find Pauline Manville | Nottingham, UK | 08/25/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I confess to not being familiar with Johnny Desmond before, but I was searching for a vocal version of The Japanese Sandman, which are hard to come by although there are many instrumentals. I was not disappointed, his version was just what I was looking for. As for the rest of the CD, there is a good variety of songs, romantic, upbeat and some novelty ones. What I like about Johnny is the fact that you can hear every word. Overall a very good CD. I am very pleased with my 'find'."
