Gold

This is a great 2 CD collection of songs. It is an import from the U.S. and I wish it was released in the UK. The songs are the original recording remastered and released 2005. Release Me, There Goes My Everything, The Last Waltz, Am I That Easy to Forget and Les Bicyclettes de Belsize are among the featured tracks. It is worth the money for a little bit of music history and powerful voice. After listening to this, I put on by Tom Jones Gold double CD then Greatest Hits [Universal].

the content is brilliant I play it over and over .my one complaint is that the casing fell apart and I have problems putting the discs back in.

A masterpiece collection of the hits of Ol' Engelbert! When I bought this double CD I very carefully looked at the other E.H. cd's and found some had 10 maybe 12 tracks, some were 're-recorded' hits, however NOT this album, truly delighted to find that nearly all are the sixties stereo studio recordings originally issued on UK Decca L.P.s/45's. Some of these tracks are also from the original full price 60's L.P.'s and are very hard to track down, but they're all here as I remember them! Very highly recommended listening!!

Engelbert was a brilliant balladeer as this collection proves. This double CD of Engelbert's music includes all his British and American hits from his best years (it omits a minor UK hit from the year 2000 - How to win your love) together with the best of his other recordings. Despite living for much of his career in America, Engelbert was less successful in the American singles charts although Release me made the top five and After the lovin' (which didn't chart in the UK) made the top ten in America. Engelbert began his career in spectacular style with a cover of Release me, originally a country song, which stayed at number one in the UK for six weeks, breaking the long run of number ones enjoyed by the Beatles, whose double-sided single Penny Lane / Strawberry fields forever peaked at number two. After such a huge success with an old country song, Engelbert recorded more covers of country songs during his career, two others (There goes my everything, Am I that easy to forget) also becoming UK top three hits for him. The last waltz (my favorite Engelbert song) replaced another classic (Scott McKenzie's San Francisco) at the top of the UK charts and stayed there for four weeks. Engelbert had four other UK top ten hits (A man without love, Les bicyclettes de Belsize, The way it used to be, Winter world of love), three other UK top twenty hits (I'm a better man, Another time another place, Too beautiful to last) and another hit that just missed the UK top twenty (Sweetheart). There have been many compilations of his music, but this is the best available, whether from a British or an American perspective. His chart history may be different in the two countries but the compilers have included everything that matters to both sets of fans.

Nice!
