I wanted one song, The Garden of Eden by Joe Valino, and that is what moved me to buy this CD. However, I found a CD full of songs that I loved, from Johnny Mathis's Twelfth of Never to Johnny Otis's delightful Hand Jive and the quirky Freight Train which was very popular for a time. I have enjoyed this CD greatly as it gave me more than I bargained for. Musically, I am a product of the 1950's, specifically 1955-1965 and I loved this music of that time. I didn't have the money to buy every record that I enjoyed so many of them went by the way and I did not have a second chance to get them. I started with this CD and I have been so delighted by it that I plan to buy volumes 1 and 2 soon. The songs on this CD are by the original artists that made them famous but the sound is so much cleaner, minus the record scratches, the hisses, and other strange noises that were part of our listening experience. Do I miss the noises? No; the purity of music sound does not take away from my good memories of the music. In fact, I hear instrument nuances that I did not know existed on the original recordings. This is so good for me that I would not hesitate to encourage my friends to buy it and it would make an outstanding Christmas or birthday gift for anyone who lived in that time and who listened to the music. It is a wonderful addition to any CD collection.Stephen Joe Payne
