"I have not had any problems with the CD or DVD sound. I think the CD sound is absolutely great (big orchestra sound, not old tracks with voices added). I really like the Matt Monro and Demis Roussos songs. Shirley Bassey sounds great on the CD, and she sounds and looks great on the DVD. I just popped the DVD into my player and it played. I did not need to make any adjustments. I have a Sony DVD player."

"I bought the CD/DVD package, and have played it on a Panasonic, and Phillips DVD player, as well as a portable DVD player. I have not had a problem with the sound. I have been in contact with dozens of other Bassey fans worldwide, and they have not had a problem with the sound. While I understand your frustration, I do not think your review is fair. Obviously, if there was a problem with the sound, I would be having the same problem, as would everyone else (they are all pressed at the same plant, using the same master). If you received a replacement and it still does not work, it has something to do with your equipment, and nothing to do with the DVD. I thought it was a great value for a "remember when" package. I am sure Amazon.com will be happy to send you another replacement, but why don't you ask them to test it first. I am positive it is your equipment and not the DVD. That being said, I am sorry you had a problem. Once you are able to figure out the sound settings on your DVD player, I hope you correct your review."

I am baffled by some of the reviews

"I think I bought the same DVD/CD combination as everyone else. The DVD had 7 songs of Shirley Bassey live from a 1989 concert in Vina Del Mar Chile. She was Excellent. It also had several music videos from Demis Roussos of him lip syncing. Obviously one reviewer did not know who Demis Roussos is. He sang one of the biggest hits ever "Forever and Ever." Demis Roussos does not lip sync very well (never has), but was still entertaining. The DVD contains 18 hit songs of Shirley Bassey, Matt Monro, and Demis Roussos in Spanish. The sound is great on the CD. These are new recordings in Spanish, with new orchestrations, not old recordings with new Spanish lyrics. They recorded the music specifically for the spanish versions. As for the sound on the DVD. The volume was a bit lower than some of my other DVD's, but I did not have a problem playing it on my Panasonic DVD player using a Sony surround sound system. I also played it on an old Phillips DVD player I had hooked directly up to a Sony TV. I had to raise the volume, but could easily hear the sound. For what you are getting for the price, it is a good value. Could they have done a better job on the sound, maybe so, but it is still nice to see Shirley Bassey do several songs not heard or seen anywhere else- especially Hey Jude. 6 of the 7 songs done by Bassey on the DVD are in English Incidentally. The package is a CD with a "bonus" DVD. Thus you are getting the DVD for free, and the entire package for the price of a CD. At least they are trying to give us some value for our hard earned money. It was not great, but it was a very good "remember when." Definitely not worthy of a 1 star rating. I gave it 4 stars because the sound on the DVD could have been better, but it is definitely not a 1."
