Music from the Sopranos, Whacked!

The Sopranos follows the trials and tribulations of Tony Soprano and his family as they deal with life amongst the mob figures of Northern New Jersey and the music is a reflection of the bars, restaurants and strip joints Tony and his boys inhabit

These songs have all been featured in the iconic TV series the Sopranos which is currently being aired on Sky Atlantic to a new  generation of fans.

The Sopranos ran for 86 episodes from 1999  – 2007 and became cult viewing and the songs featured on this three disc collection  - predominantly by the original artists – became the soundtrack to what has

become one of the most iconic TV series ever produced.

The song Time To Say Goodbye (CD3, track 21 on the physical CD) is noted for being the most recurring theme in the entire series of 86 shows. It’s a well played track, and has become synonymous with the show.

63 tracks ranging from cool Chet Baker perfomances to up beat rock ‘n’ roll tracks such as Let It Rock by Chuck Berry.

Cliff Richard - Album Reviews

I have his 40 Golden Greats, released in the late seventies, and wanted something from his early period to supplement that collection. I saw this at a "Half-Price Books" in N. Texas, the price was right, and here I am. Much is derivative of the early period of rock and roll, which hit the UK like a massive mess of lightning. He's backed by the Drifters, who later became the Shadows.

Much is recorded in studio, much is recorded live to an apparently crazed set of female observors. If anyone has more info, I'd love to hear your views. Bottom line, the price was right and I am in. Cliff was on fire in them daze. Chris's review on www.deltamusic.co.uk

4 out of 5 Stars 'Best of the Early Years' minus one !!!!!, 1 Mar 2011 By weeorry10

This box is great value for money, super presentation, three discs and lots of tracks some live but with awful 'scream to order' females on several songs. One other small complaint is the absence of Mean Streak which, in my opinion ,is one of his best early Columbia releases I can't understand why it was omitted, but for that discrepancy I would have given it five stars. Still a great buy though !!!!!!

Absolutely The Best Of The American Songbooks Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SELECTION, 29 May 2011 By Barry McCanna (Normandy, France)

Delta, and its associated label Bygone Days, is fast establishing a reputation for well-packaged low-cost CDs, and this is no exception. The tracklist is set out in full on Amazon.UK from which it can be seen that the composers are all from the top drawer, and the vocalists are mostly American (with the exception of Shirley Bassey and Cliff Richard). My one reservation is that given the status of these recordings the tracklist should not be confined to title, vocalist and composer. It should show at least the accompaniment, year of recording, and if appropriate the film or show for which it was it was written. But everything else about it, including sound quality, is excellent and at the asking price I'd be looking a gift horse in the mouth to award less than five stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great cross section of song writers and performers..., 25 May 2011 By C. FULLER (Birmingham, United Kingdom)

This brand new compilation has a running time of approx 190 minutes and for 60 tracks and a realistic selling price this is great value. The songs many of them classics of the standards era sound great and have been nicely transferred. The packaging says over 50 songs but as you can see there are in fact 60 songs by many of the great song writers and performed by many of the great singers. The selections do acknowledge artists right up to the start of the 1960s with Cliff Richard being the most obvious. No liner notes. Nicely packaged with slimline case. Part of a series of CD sets from Delta.

Mario Lanza - At the Movies, Review by Allen Pollack

MARIO LANZA AT THE MOVIES (Bygone Days BYD77059) contains a rich seam of songs recorded by the temperamental tenor (1921-1959) during his Hollywood tenure and beyond. A mixture of soundtrack and studio recreated songs/operatic areas range across the spectrum from his first film in 1949 - THAT

MIDNIGHT KISS (THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE ME) through its follow-up THE TOAST OF NEW ORLEANS (BE MY LOVE) and on to the box-office success of THE GREAT CARUSO (THE LOVELIEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR) and his ghost voice presence for the physically trim Edmund Purdom  in THE STUDENT PRINCE (SERENADE) before the inevitable destructive run-down despite a comeback in THE SEVEN HILLS OF ROME (COME DANCE WITH ME) and the ironically  titled last movie FOR THE FIRST TIME (ARRIVEDERCI ROME)i n 1959. I did miss the inclusion of THE TINA-LINA anda few others but this collection makes no claims as being comprehensive and succeeds as a welcome reminder of the star's rich vocal appeal that continues to cast its spell upon many who seek an operatic career.
