4 out of 5 stars Pure fun.......2006-02-26

This is a great old mix of prarie league; I am not a hard-core fan of the band - just enjoy the music; kids like it too.

4 out of 5 stars A good value if it's what you're looking for.......2004-12-10

This is a review for the newbie's like me. Those of you that are PPL experts or fans can probably skip it.

They played the song 'Amie' to death in the 70's but after about 20 year's hiatus, I heard it on the radio the other day and decided to add it to the collection for nostalgia and to work out some of the guitar bits. Being unfamiliar with PPL's other work, this was an affordable place to start. However, there are no liner notes whatsoever making it hard to understand where each tune fits in the history of the band, who wrote it, or who is singing or playing what instrument. If you're buying a greatest-hits collection with the possibility of branching off into other albums or you want to know more about the group, this gives you absolutely nothing written to go on. The sound quality is good but probably not as sparkling as a re-mastered Greatest Hits (1999) might be. Note that members of the group Poco sing harmonies on 'Amie' but the rest of the album, while still fine, lacks that particular ambience. Also note other reviewer's comments about the sequencing on 'Falling in and Out of Love'. What's on this album is what I remember from AM and no bother whatsoever, but if you're an album oriented radio listener you may not be happy. (Harry Nilsson's greatest hits album has a similar problem where 'Me and My Arrow' doesn't, in my opinion, have enough of the narration prior to the song.)

Anyway, the price point is good if the collection suits your needs. Hope this helps you decide.

3 out of 5 stars Amie: Encore Collection.......2003-06-15

This is an eclectic collection of Pure Prairie League songs from peak periods. With contributions from early days and the band's 1981 rebound with Vince Gill, this album was a treat to listen to. However, aging rockers may recall when "Falling In and Out of Love With You" ALWAYS preceded "Amie" on AOR radio, and will be a bit dissappointed that both songs were not linked in this compilation, and may want to consider other PPL Greatest Hits collections.

3 out of 5 stars Never heard it but its ppl!!.......2002-06-01

duh, its pure prarie league, how bad could it be?

Amazon.com essential recording

From the youthful bloom and impetuous swagger of Enrico Caruso's debut 1902 recordings to the darker, almost baritonal overtones typifying his final sessions before the acoustic horn, the singer's resplendent vocalism and generous performing style remain the archetype for Italian tenors. As a child of the late 19th century, Caruso was prone to embellish upon composers' texts, yet his passion, communicative power, and soaring musicality transcend time. The Italian sessions from 1902 to 1904 and Caruso's recordings with piano between 1904 and 1905, along with two later sides, receive conventional, unaltered transfers. The remaining material is restored via the controversial Soundstream computer process, which fleshes out the lower partials of the voice while compromising its overtones, relegating the orchestral accompaniment to a rumbling backdrop rather than contributing partner. Yet many will find the Soundstream transfers easier on the ear. Those who wish to acquire the complete Caruso in a single package at midprice should not hesitate to purchase this significant set. --Jed Distler

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars No - the deffect is NOT on EVERY set!!!.......2006-12-08

The deffect that some previous reviewers were so mad about did not happen to my set. After purchasing it for two years and listening to the disks every other day, they are still shiny and beautiful like new. You can't use the word "EVERY" so cavelierly, because you have not listened to EVERY set.

5 out of 5 stars The Master of Italian Tenor Singing-Get it.......2006-05-20

I have been collecting Caruso performance since 1960- of course they were on vinyl- I even had some 78's. I think the 78 and vinyl records produced a warmer tone, but it is a delight to have the Master's performances in one place. My vinyls are worn to shreds.

Except for the lighter and bel canto roles, Caruso is supreme in the Italian and some of the French repetoire. Last night I listened to the Quartet from Martha for the first time in many years. Caruso sings about a 20 second phrase beginning "Dormi
Pur" which had me in tears as it had in the past. The ease of Caruso cadenzas in "La donna e Mobile" and "Una Furtiva Lagrima" put most tenors with a 1/4 of Caruso's vocal weight and size to shame.

There are no American/Swedish or any other hyphenated Carusos. He was unique and I am a Bjoerling freak. I find it
odd that a previous reviwer mentioned Mario Lanza favorably with Caruso.

Lanza rarely performed on an opera stage. On recording his voice seems large but his singing is amateurish. He squeezes, forces, barks and croons. At times one can hear a pretty sound but I do not consider him a major opera singer.

Rudolf Bing's comment that people who heard Richard Tucker were just as lucky as those who heard Caruso is silly. Tucker was excellent but NOT Caruso.

Lauritz Melchior, in the heavy German repetoire and to my mind Otello, is as unique and uncomparable as Caruso is in the Italian and French repetoire.

1 out of 5 stars WARNING-All Original Releases Corrode Because of Dye.......2005-04-24

EVERYONE who bought the ORIGINAL multi-disc release has seen each disc become unplayable through corrosion because of a dye used to print the label side. BMG is well aware of this and has been inundated with demands for replacement.

This set is available in a subsequently released BUDGET compilation, also available through AMAZON. There are no manufacturing defects.

5 out of 5 stars from a 13 year old kid.......2005-03-15

it is a great cd. when they say complete, they mean complete! 12 cds about 70mins each. comes with booklet with recording dates and matrix #s. in cardboardy-leather box. i did not have a probelem with red batwing labels making a clear film. the set is from the 70's but is the quality that great any way? contains private recordings.

4 out of 5 stars There are other, better options.......2004-05-17

I was surprised to see that this set was still available. These transfers were made in the late 1970's at the dawn of the digital era and were state of the art for that time. But in cleaning up the surface noise these old digital transfers seriously flatten out the sound of Caruso's voice.

I would suggest that people interested in Caruso check out the "complete" Caruso series on Naxos with new digital restorations by the great sound engineer/artist Ward Marston. On the Naxos CD's the voice is preserved in a much more natural and subtle sound while all of the other noises are eliminated as much as possible. It's much more satisfying and true to the original recordings than these old RCA transfers. If you're going to spend $130.00 you should have the best available. It's only fair to Caruso.
