(5 out of 5 stars)
"Twenty Six cuts from the early years, 1947-52 including the hits ALL MY LOVE, CONFESS, WITH MY EYES WIDE OPEN, THESE THINGS I OFFER YOU, I WENT TO YOUR WEDDING, SO IN LOVE, SAY SOMETHING SWEET, MOCKIN BIRD HILL, TENN WALTZ, WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME and YOU BELONG TO ME! But the emphasis here is on many of Patti's great early sides never before available on CD! Many never available since the original 78/45 release including GOODY GOODBYE, I'M GONNA PAPER MY WALLS WITH YOUR LOVE LETTERS, MY DREAM IS YOURS, I'M GLAD YOU'RE HAPPY WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, ALL MY LOVE BELONGS TO YOU, I FEEL SO SMOOCHIE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?, WHERE'S THE ONE, STREETS OF LAREDO (the movie song), EVERY SO OFTEN, 12 O'CLOCK FLIGHT, JUST ONE WAY TO SAY I LOVE YOU, LOVE,WHERE ARE YOU NOW and THE RIGHT KIND OF LOVE. You'll hear a variety of backings from simple jazz combo to string orchestra. You'll see that Patti could sing any type music and do it well even at this early date. If you're a Patti Page fan you'll undoubtedly want this in your collection. If you are unfamiliar with Patti, this collection along with the Living Era CD ALL MY LOVE will give you a great overview of those first 5 years.SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT especially considering many of these were recorded to acetate masters (before tape recording)."
