CD Reviews

Oh Good Heavens, Give The Lady A Chance....

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have read the two reviews for this CD and wish to say that they both are terribly misleading. Yes, perhaps Josephine Baker is not everyone's cup of tea, but this two-disc collection is a lot of fun to listen to and enjoy. The sound quality is not at all raspy, slurry or fuzzy, although you can tell that these are vintage recordings which have been re-mastered onto CD. They are probably from 78 rpm records or maybe even old film soundtracks. I found the sound quality to be very clear and good considering the source materials available! Columbia River Entertainment Group has done a nice job packaging these "Cocktail Hour" sets, of which I own five and plan to buy more in the future. Please, if you plan to buy this lovely Josephine Baker CD, ignore the bad reviews and don't be influenced by them at all. Thanks for reading my review, direct all comments to BrideOfCyrano@aol.com"

Ugh !!

"Nasty quality, slurry, blurry, harsh and poorly remastered. Truly sounds like a series of well-worn 78's. If that's your thing, you'll enjoy this recording. But, if you're interested in actually being able to HEAR Josephine's remarkable voice, then there's little little reason to waste your money on this 3rd rate effort, given the broad choice of much better remasterings available."
